Live View indispensible for tilt (and shift)?

Thank you all very much for the answers so far - really helpful. Live View, especially for tilt, seems to be the critical issue.

If I'm stopping down to f11 most of the time and often at 10-20m from the critical focus subject will I be able to wing it without Live View, or will I find myself endlessly frustrated by slight missed focus?

If it comes to it, I'd probably rather spend more and enjoy using the kit than save and get driven mad by it!

I also have a fondness for over-polarised blue skies which makes me favour the 24mm for filters, at which point I'd need a FF body to be wide enough for architecture. (Sounds as if I'm trying to talk myself out of saving the money...).
