Yes, we have the same issue here. There's not always a Mac handy with Xcode running the right version, etc., when we need to toggle the Playback HUD on the Apple TV 4Ks. Have to go and hunt down the computer first! It would be great if: A) There was a hidden command in the Apple TV 4K device interface (like a string of button presses on the remote) to enable the Developer Options tab in Settings. Or B) The Playback HUD could be toggled directly from the user menu without having to enable Developer Options (like in the Video and Audio menu under Video). Or C) Like the OP said, Developer Options doesn't time out for events like a restart, power loss, software update, etc. It persists until you pair Xcode and turn it off.
