I am running Bitcoin Core with the entire blockchain downloaded, and switching from wallet file to wallet file is very time consuming as it can take nearly 30 minutes for the wallet to be loaded as blocks need to be checked, etc.

What are the biggest problems, hurdles, time consuming thing online which you face often in bitcoin world. Lets discuss them and try to solve!

Time-consuming can be considered creating the wallet, writing down the 24words and keep the private keys private.
If you need to send to an address which you get from the real world in paper then it is time-consuming writing the bitcoin address on your phone or in pc character by character.

Why can't you copy paste the address on your phone or PC? If you type the characters, there could be an error as well and since these transactions cannot be reversed, you could lose your coins.

Isn't that scenario possible? You want to send bitcoin to a friend that has in a paper only his address and not the QR code (to scan it) then you have no other choice rather than write/type the bitcoin address character by character. I know that it is not safe but IRL it can happen.
The problem is that bitcoin addresses are long and not easy memorable.

@OP: My main problem is that many reliable bitcoin wallets are freezing accounts (eg: Xapo and Coinbase) while only blockchain seems reliable but I changed to other wallets when blockchain was having issues and facing donwtimes frequently.

I have the problem in obtaining bitcoin in a stable way. Usually trying to get them turns out on party or another gets scammed. Not everywhere has atm's to get bitcoin and localbitcoins is just the same about getting scammed out of your money.
