Indeed, holonomic drives (like mecanum, speaking as a coach that did swerve with this guy in Einstein 2013) also take practice lining up consistently at full speed. There's no one best answer for all drivers even within the same game.

The cool thing about a lot of these drivetrain ideas is that you can still do them later. Off-season work can answer a lot of questions and provide a lot of practice with things like mecanum, slider wheels, and chassis shapes. Maybe they won't think it's too hard next time.
