I think it depends on what you mean by "meaningful quantity." If you're putting together a tube-and-gusset chassis, it's not all that difficult to do your riveting by hand. It's still faster than bolting the assembly together.

If you're doing sheet metal, I can see how it would be a real pain to have to do all your rivets manually.
