Maybe I'll be proven wrong - but we'll spend more time practicing with no vision system than we do with the vision system working.

I think youre right.
We also did vision tracking in 2012 and it worked fairly well at our week 4 event in Hawaii.
However, soon afterwards we figured it was just so much easier to create set points using both spots on the field and what the operator saw using the camera to manually aim and shoot.
After a while they just got way better at it, doing it much faster than the vision tracking.
No calibrations necessary.
