For whatever it is worth; I have used clutchless up and downshifting for everything (except for two Harleys) but the 1-2 shift since 1970something. I have owned and ridden a multitude of bikes, several 70+k miles....
I have NEVER needed to replace a clutch or gearbox on a streetbike......
Not once....never.....
(I have smoked my share of clutches on the track, however......)
