Just my $0.02: on my slow (long keel) boat I normally need more rudder to tack than the actuator allows, so then I prefer to tack without the autopilot. When there is enough wind, I use my own modification that maps +/- 1/10 to +110 resp -110. After the tack, I wait for the boat to gain speed again and then I correct the commanded heading. For me, an autotack would be way more than I need, and I never even tried it. Clicking two buttons at the same time is never a problem.
