Well, if you think the 3 charging items you have mentioned are more convenient than the 1 swappable battery, I don't know what else to say.
Getting back to topic though, hopefully an update would help to alleviate many of the battery concerns here of the Note 5.
I don't think an update is needed. The battery has been tested before it was released. It comes down to people making sure what their phone is doing.
Bad signal will drain your battery fast.
Apps you don't use even, will report location to Google and keep your phone from going into deep sleep if the WiFi setting doesn't turn your WiFi off when asleep and you don't turn off WiFi scanning.
Some people have things syncing more often than other people or more things. I have weather apps that are polling for information every 60 mins, but if there is an alert, it switches to every two minutes. So if we have bad weather my battery won't last as long.
I don't have Google keep location history or have Google Now tell me about traffic or other reminders.
This battery has already been shown to be better than the N4 battery, which is why I said.. If you had problems with your N4 battery and didn't change anything, you will have problems with your N5. Also with a new phone, sometimes you have changed settings on the old phone with apps and don't realize it and have to change those settings back on the new phone.
