Side view mirrors are plenty for when reverse is needed. A good visual assessment the area before reversing in tight quarters is always helpful. And practice
Gonna have to disagree with you here, buddy. I had the same mindset as the OP after I had a sedan riding my *** in the left lane on I-640 in Knoxville in before morning nautical twilight. Nismo wing meant I couldn't get a good look at the headlights.

I put Newtons on the loud pedal, sped up to 108 mph to get the sedan off me. He effected a hard pass on the right, blew by me. His door paint looked odd so I glanced over and saw "Knox County Sheriff" on the door. He passed me, got in front, and blipped his wig-wags before continuing on.

I ended up getting the Zoom Monaco inside rear mirror and Craft Square sides so I had better visuals. But I damn near sold the wing before I decided instead to spend $1000 to overcome the issue..
