Pilots should always fly per company guidance in their FOM/GOM. If the company says you must have the ILS tuned and FMS programmed for a visual approach, and you don't have time to do that, then decline. Pilots should never fault other pilots for flying "by the book."

That said...there should be a little common sense involved on part of those writing the book. If its CAVU and you're at 1000'agl on final and get a sidestep to a runway with a VGSI, a short briefing of "Sidestepping 18L instead of 18R, got the PAPI, we'll take that right turnoff just past midfield" should be sufficient for two professional pilots to accommodate ATC while never compromising safety of flight.
