I've used the Klasse combo for a few years now, but one coat of red and two coats of grey are a big time sink. Are there any sealants out there that provide similar protection in a single product? Maybe something like Jescar Power Lock? I've also become a big fan of Meg's Ultimate Fast Finish and use that as a top-up between Klasse applications. Not interested in ceramics at this point.
Modern Alternative to Klasse AIO + SG?

Do you think Fast Finish has enough durability on its own? My Klasse routine was to apply the combo once in the spring and once in the fall.

Not if the op wants some actual durability that will come close to the klasse twins.
Fast Finish is not bad. The benefit is it’s ease of application. If you need more longevity simply add another coat.
Jescar gets high praise.

Collinite 476, or Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant both have excellent longevity, provided you do some basic maintenance. (Regular washing, add some topper once you're done)
Coatings have longer life if you are so inclined to try those, but they still require maintenance.

•Here are just a few Sealant-based AIOs
that may not be considered as being modern;
but, IMO, they are still Worldly-wise:
“with-it”, so to say.
-Poorboy's Polish with Sealant
-Optimum Poli-Seal
-Finish Kare 215 One Step Cleaner
& Surface Sealant

I'd like to add both Duragloss 501, and 101 to that list.

Not a total newbie, just new to the forums. Though I've done enough research to make my head spin.
I think in the past I relied too much on Klasse AIO for cleaning, when really I should have been using more chemical decontamination. Tar and industrial fallout are my main enemy. If I use more chemical decon (in addition to claying, which I've always done) then I shouldn't need an AIO to pick up the rest.
I'd probably keep using Meg's UFF in any case just because it's insanely easy to apply.

UFF is great especially for the $ and ease of use. I wouldn’t be afraid to try to push it for many months.
There is no modern Klasse. They all apply that same way if they are the same type of product.
You need to figure out your wants. Way easier to use a paint cleaner like megs cleaner wax each 6 months then UFF as needed for actual protection

M21 is another favorite.
I remember reading a post by Michael Stoops of Meguiar's.
Someone was asking how their (now discontinued) Paint Protect compared to M21.
He said that "..initially, M21 will offer more durability, but the Paint Protect would bead longer.." or something to that effect, if that makes any sense.
Concerning UFF? I don't know first hand.

This is a yes and no. A chemical decon will only remove so much so the paint will still need a mechanical decon if the surface feels like it needs it. But in general polishing at least once a year not only removes paint defects but it cleans up the paint while imparting that gloss. In saying that find yourself a polish and then find yourself a sealant and call it a day.
I mentioned the paint cleaner up above. M21 is comparable in that it is a sealant like KSG. It is also much easier to use than KSG. Longevity and durability are fairly close. M21 would make a fine sealant to go with. If you prefer to pick something up locally that is available to you then you have the option of Meguiar's Ultimate Wax or Ultimate Fast Finish. Both will get you about the same durability with the ease of application going to fast finish and the looks going to ultimate wax.
Over on the Meguiar's forum it has been mentioned by the Meguiar's reps that a base layer of ultimate wax followed by fast finish works well.
You will get many recommendations to products and in the end you will have to decide for yourself on which route to go.
