I also have removed this wait in my local copy of org-mode. I use
org-crypt for one subtree in each of my org files which contains
passwords and other sensitive data. I rarely decrypt these entries so
leaving auto save on for my use case isn't much of a security issue for
me. I tend to decrypt the entry, look up the detail I need, and then
resave the file which reencrypts the entry immediately.
Just my 2 cents :)
