As far as time, you get everything cleaned up and put away, and the fermenters and yeast ready before you chill. So it adds a little but not a lot of time.

+1.  I get everything possible cleaned and put up during the stand, so the time loss isn't big for me either.

By the time I get to the stand, all I have left to clean up is the kettle....which you obviously can't do until after!

I also need to flush out the pump and hoses,, but that adds <5 minutes. That includes hooking up tap water, flush with the pump running, tear down. Doing that anyway.

I am always looking to take time out of my brewday but the results I get with hop stands in IPA's are so obvious and dramatic that I find it worthwhile. I usually just move onto a non brewing task that I can do while periodically stirring.

Honestly I don't see much difference for a 20 min stand. But a 30 min + there is a major difference. Personally I like a 45 min for a good balance of ibus and hop oils. This is all at boiling temperatures fading till the end of the stand.
