I didn't find it really that big of a hassle. Sure - it added maybe a few hours of complication to my two week vacation but it wasn't that bad. Definitely would go through that rather than not have the option at all.

To enter the US a rapid antigen test is enough.

I travelled last week (from Ireland to Spain and back again); I had to fill in a couple of forms ahead of time and show slightly more barcodes/qr codes than usual (vaccine cert and each country's travel locator thingy), but really it wasn't too bad.

The locator forms are weirdly _inconsistent_, though; the Spanish one asks for seat number and incorporates the vaccine cert; the Irish one isn't interested in seat number and you have to show the vaccine cert separately. I'm somewhat surprised this hasn't all been standardised.
