I think the sensitivity vars are nice, but can be used for single joystick input just as well.
the point of the post was to show how to separate the variables when using tank drive so that individual sensitivities could have their own tuning parameters.

With a 3-axis joystick this isn't necessary since the normal mapping of 3-axis joystick functions to robot motions is already separated.
