Now, 95% of the time, I do it the normal way, but I can't say that there is never a time where the e-brake is necessitated.

But as far as OP's question goes, you should be able to handle just moving off with the clutch in most cases. Especially with the very forgiving stock clutch.
Ahhh there are always exceptions to a rule. I am referencing stock vehicles with stock equipment. Once you change things up then all bets are off.
