Without book view, it would be necessary to open the book in an ePub reader, identify changes that need to be made, re-open the ePub in Sigil and repeat the process. Even something as simple as checking spacing between lines, images, captions would take a lot more time without book view.
I am also thinking about this from the point of view of anybody who may be new to ePubs. When I was learning how to produce ePubs, I learnt a lot using Sigil. I was able to experiment with different css styles and immediately see the effects on my books.

Have you tried using the "Preview Pane"?? It is "Book View", but always up...either docked along the edge or full screen on a second display. It pretty much obviates the need for BV. Go to View in the menu and select "Preview" or you can toggle it on/off with F10.
