For me, foiling ribs is a must, 45 minutes tops.
why?

Why not? There's lots of advantages to foiling.
IMHO, it's all in the technique which you cook them. There are merits for both sides.
another option to consider that is somewhere in the middle is to make an open foil boat...
This allows you to put the meat side down in some pool of sugar/honey/juice/butter concoction that is the new flavor of the month... you get the benefit of a braise with less direct heat exposure for the full duration but also allows you to see/feel the ribs quicker if/when you open the pit to avoid them getting crushed and overcooked. Then at some point when ready to glaze you can flip in the open foil boat or remove foil from bottom altogether...
