If you have a modern transmission with a synchro, there would be zero need to double clutch unless you are doing it wrong or hesitate too much between shifts.

This is correct there is no need to double clutch due to synchros (triple cone synchros too for the first 3 gears in this car) but it's just another skill to have, very useful when the gearbox tends to hesitate 2nd gear in very cold winter mornings.

Yes DBW and dare I say electric steering also, no matter how good they get just can't replicate the responsiveness and feel of old skool cable throttle and hydraulic power steering.
