Under many different circumstances, we were able to prove that hand tightening without a torque wrench the operator was typically off nominal torque by +/- 20-30% for the most skilled workers while others struggled to hit +/- 30-45%
These are skilled union workers assembling complex Ag equipment day in and day out.
You put a calibrated torque wrench in each one of those same individuals hands and they can hit +\-10% all the time.
There's a big reason why factories spend big money to tie torque tooling to assembly processes.
My general rule of thumb is that if the joint is in motion, or connects to something that is in motion, you want to torque that joint.

You're dead on for something critical like a head bolt or something of that nature, but imo it's way overkill for this situation.
