I understand the question. Doffing/donning the WETSUIT was the only skill I had trouble with. In fact it held up my DM cert. I have also seen quite a few wetsuited OW students struggle on the surface in waves. I had problems with this in OW, as well as at depth. I can't speak for drysuits, but BCDs vary a lot. My personal old Phantom has tiny straps hard to find. When using shop BCDs my donning/doffing improved some.
I guess it also depends on what kind of diving you do. If you always dive in benign conditions with a competent buddy and not from a small boat, I would guess the skill is less important.
