It's not irrelevant. The law states that a valid Arizona driver license is sufficient proof, as well as any other legally issued form of ID... things people are very likely to already easily have on hand in their wallet anyway. So I don't see how it's going to be any more inconvenience than we already have.
I gave you two real world examples of what it would look like in practice, in a country which actually has a very similar law. But your assumption that suspicious activity and behavior is extremely rare and negligible is your own. Obviously it isn't, or there would not be border violence occurring and 70% of Arizona citizens would not have felt it necessary to protect themselves from it. The law specifically states it's going to be targeting people conducting suspicious behavior, such as transporting, giving passage, or sheltering illegals across the border. This not the same things as targeting grandma while she's innocently walking her dog in the park, or a family at an ice cream stand-- no suspicious activity there.
