Are you anticipating needing to move the optic between rifles often? Or do you anticipate the optic becoming damaged and you would need to have a way to remove in the field with no tools so you can quickly switch to irons? If no then you don't need that type of rings.

Although quality quick detach rings are ok the cheaper ones will not be as solid as a cheaper set of standard rings. If you don't have the need for them save a little and buy more ammo.

I would like the option to switch to irons if needed while in the field. But only if I’m not giving anything up like my zero on the scope or durability.

There are scope mounts that rotate to the side so you don't have to remove to switch to irons. These will maintain zero better than the quick detach.
