I can edge glue boards without all that and they are plenty strong . A little more effort to align them I suppose, but otherwise I don’t see the point. If I did a dowel jig is trivial to make.
Thank you! Youtube has been trying for ages to get me to watch some clickbait video where the thumbnail is a nail between two pieces of wood. Now I finally know what that does without watching the video.
I absolutely agree, usually I go for the ganged up edge planing to get that complementary mating edge. Also if I were more than a hobby shop and doing things for money on a time budget, I’d probably think about buying some of that oh so expensive Festool stuff.

Don’t even need a dowel jig, nail head in-between the boards and a slight tap on either side you have a marking that lines up on both sides
