The checklists are shorter but there is the "T.O. speeds & Thrust" that is much longer in the before start phase.
Since we're supposed to ask for pushback before doing the checklist, it leads to 30-40s delay between the approval and the pushback.

I.e. l/g up should be checked
For normal flight I don't think there is a necessity to check the gear. At worst, you will notice it no later than 4000ft when accelerating towards 250kts (the red band will be visible at 280kts)
For abnormal flight, people will have to think about it no later than before reading the status.

The guys who made the machine do not operate it. They can aggregate their customers' experience but still don't operate it themselves.
