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.
ok but you are the one percent, also 6 pucks aren't considered very useful or good for daily driving (they make life hell like you stated) but for people here who don't have the force of the hulk in their clutch assembly, the handbrake is not a necessity.
