Speaking as one who has launched hundreds of FAC (Bronco) and fighter (Phantom and F-16) sorties that feature was trivial. Old aircraft required so many maintainers having a fireguard (a very good idea with early engine fuel controls!) didn't divert anyone on the line from anything useful. The pilot would still be ahead of the game to get in the cockpit (which if he was on alert he should have previously set up to his liking including seat adjustments and switchology) while the crew chief handled the rest and the fire guard kicked the last chock when the pilot signaled ready to taxi. Aircraft require enough support troops there are plenty to TCOB during launch and recovery.
