It depends on where you are in the learning process. If you can change chords easily by placing all your fingers at once, then do it. You are beyond the stage of trying to place fingers one at a time.

But if you are still at that stage of placing one or two fingers at a time that's fine. Make time to work on gradually getting your fingers in place at the same time. Because that's the end goal. That's usually what's necessary to change chords & play in time with music.

And your skill level will progress at different speeds for different chords, chord changes or tempos.
