If you're on Alaska/Horizon, it's going to be more like a maximum of 5, total. It doesn't even qualify as "inconvenient".
I would rather spend 7 minutes walking between gates in the same concourse than five minutes walking to a station, three minutes waiting for a train, three minutes on the train with several dozen of my not closest friends, and five minutes walking from train to gate. No surprise there.
