The last vehicle that I had to double clutch was a 1961 Army jeep but that was about 35 years ago. Double clutching a synchro tranny is not needed at any time if you have the revs right. There are many that will argue that point but that is reality. If somebody needs to double clutch all the time they have either broken their transmission or just can't hit the right range of revs.

I've never HAD to double clutch any manual car I've driven. I've done it a couple of times just to see what it felt like and to learn something, but I don't think I've ever done it driving normally.
As for the "double clutch from 2nd to 1st" situation I know someone will bring up again, I downshift into first at like 15-20 mph almost every day pulling into the parking lot at my job with no issues. Whether that's considered "non-trivial" speed I dont know, but I've literally never had to double clutch to do it, that's for sure.
