Brick - I have no problems with tight manouvers with panniers. I still run the same tight gaps as I used to with a backpack and can twitch in and out of spaces as well as anyone else I've seen on the road. I think it has a lot to do with what you're used to doing.
As for the inconvenience. I just lift the bag off and hang it from my shoulder from a strap, much like one might do with a messenger bag. I'm not sure how this is more inconvenient than a messenger bag. I guess you do have to lift the bag up a bit to get it on the shoulder but that kind of effort barely seems worth mentioning.
