I adjusted mine yesterday. The clutch is noticeably softer since the spring forces are lower. I also allowed for half an inch to an inch allowance where the clutch is fully disengaged and there is some extra pedal travel to ensure the clutch won't drag. Now I get all your points but being an engineer I feel it will put less pressure on the TOB. I hear that the clutch disk lasts longer than the TOB in this engine (NA applications). I will keep you guys posted. Someone should take that bullet
