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.
I have driven many vehicles that you did indeed have to double clutch but none of them had synchroed trannys. It is a whole new driving experience!
