I fail to see the difference between taking off a BC, with or without integrated weights.The dog hunts quite well thank you, and has for many many years. Ever been wrapped up monofilament gill netting? How did you handle it with integrated weights?
BTW, the trick to doffing and donning a weight integrated BC is NOT the death grip. Simply always position yourself UNDER your BC. Don't ever let it get beneath you like an anchor. My students learn this simple technique and have no issues.
In a prone position (face down) loosen your straps and undo all all of your clips and cummerbund. Slip your left arm out and rotate underneath your BC so that you are now looking up with your BC on top. Adjust/tighten what you need or untangle/cut your self free with your BC on your tummy and between you and the surface. Now just rotate the other direction and put your right arm through as you do. Put your left arm back in and re-clip and adjust your BC. It's really not that hard to do.

But again except for drills it is so unlikely to have to remove gear. I think it is right up there with the "plastic buckle of death" myth.
