Making tilt (and swing) adjustments with the front is just like working with base tilts, but a bit more pronounced; i.e., not really a problem at all. Plus, you'll find you probably won't use movements as much with longer lenses anyway; it's just the nature of those kind of shots.
I guess I'm saying, "get over your addiction to axis tilts and get on with it. It's not so hard."
