I think Doddys first paragraph sums it up better than my quick description
I’ve had good experiences with connectors- My first CNC machine used aviation connectors and I had no issues with them at all so it can work fine.
I’ve also had bad ones where the connector to the spindle flashed over and blew the expensive VFD. Totally my fault as I didn’t provide much strain relief and the spindle moves around.
So I just have an aversion to them which is probably not very scientifically based when you do it right.
In terms of time spent disconnecting the steppers the drives usually have a green terminal plug which you just pull out and feed out of the cabinet so it comes down to how easy it is to feed the cable out.
