No kids so YMMV - we put everything in the dishwasher and set it going in the evening. I open it before going to bed and set a fan blowing over the dishes to air dry them and put them away when I wake up in the morning.

I'm also kind of anal about everything being very dry before going into the cupboards.

Debated getting a small radiant heater to install under a cupboard over a drying rack but figured it was going too far.

That's really not that crazy, and I'm surprised this whole system hasn't been developed. We're kinda stuck in the 'big flappy door' form factor right now. I wish something like the drawer style were more common and with integrated air-drying. https://www.fisherpaykel.com/ie/dishwashing/contemporary-dis...
You can also buy dishes that intentionally don’t stack airtight if you get my meaning - so that two plates on top of each other still dry perfectly fine - and then drill some holes in the cabinets.
At this point I would love a dishwasher that had racks specifically for the dishes that I have. I'm surprised IKEA hasn't jumped on that -- perfectly marrying a set of dishes with a dishwasher rack.
