Yes a sweep gen and oscilloscope are nice in this regard but the job can
be done correctly using a accurate sig gen or at least close enough for
this type of rig.

Yes, someone with a mile of patience might get all sections tuned right
with a stable gen - I'm just not that patient, and "close enough" probably
depends on how good of performance someone is willing to settle for.

I suppose but I've done well using just Sig Gen. I guess being bald and not
having any hair to pull out helps. I guess if a AR-88 was the only radio I
owned and my shack wasn't plum full of vintage and modern gear I'd probably
fire up the sweep and scope to align one. But I've gotten pretty good
results with the old HP 8640. It's spot on and I keep it in good shape. But
yes your right, a sweep and scope to peek the IF on freq is optimum.

PS, I still use a matchbook cover to set the points on my model T.
