Autologin allows the system to fully boot up incl. to connect to WLANs
and not stop at
KDM. During boot one can leave the room.

All that is accomplished in runlevel 3, so I don't see what great
benefit is gained - even life and death surgery has to wait until the
ambulance has arrived, patient transported to theatre and the surgeon
scubs up, dons his apron and gloves and considers how to proceed.

Not with NetworkManager enabled, which depends on the applet for
per-user configuration.

NM 0.9 does not depend on the applet for per-user configuration any more - it
is all pushed into the daemon, controlled by polkit.
