No. With the standard watch you learn routes and learn to manage your cloak to only cloak when needed. It is a matter of learning routes and knowing which routes are viable and which routes aren't. That is, of course, map specific.

There isn't any ammo drops between the 2fort bases for example (except the ones in the sewers).

Granted. But you don't have to cloak the entire time. Sure if you're trying to cross the bridge but then you're running the risk of a bump or a stray shot. Pubs rarely hit the sewers. Cloak on for over the fortification, get into the water, decloak. You're pretty much clear up to the stairs from that point.

With C&D however you can choose when to uncloak if you even wish to uncloak. As I demonstrated in the video you can crouch-walk and stay hidden for a long time, long enough to get to cover. The engineers have no idea that you were there, neither did the pyros, untill you push that cold steel blade between their ribs.

Granted. That is why I said once you're behind enemy lines C&D is better for staying there. But getting behind enemy lines, which is the exact statement I took issue with, is harder. You have less time to move. Yes, crouch-walking gives you something like 49 seconds of cloak time. But front lines are unpredictable places to move slowly. An errant grenade or rocket, you're dead. A scout trying to make a break for the flank nudges you, you're dead. Stray shots from other classes revealing you, you're good as dead. To traverse the active front line you need to move fast from one location where the enemy isn't looking to another location where the enemy isn't looking.

That is why I gave the example of pl_badlands. If the enemy team has the cart past the 2nd point you need the full 10s of the normal watch to move from A to B in several points of the map because you simply do not want to sit or crouch-walk with an active firefight raging around you. Which, I contend, you wouldn't want to do regardless of the map, even 2Fort's bridge.
