I can change instrument temperaments in one or at most two tunings. Don't agonize over it. Just do it. I am sure players who had to do meantone back in the day just cranked the e-flat to d-sharp and back again without a second thought (and the other accidentals as well). I have had to change an instrument from 440 to 415 in 15 minutes and have it usable. It is not a big deal!
