I now am in the firm belief that the clutch pedal travel should not at all be adjusted. So when I put the trans back in I adjusted the clutch as per this video:

Hah I had the same thought as you and raised my clutch adjustment two days ago! It's now around 12-13mm above the brake pedal. I have noticed smoother shifts into 2nd. My guess is that's because the clutch is releasing slightly sooner in the pedal stroke, which allows the flywheel speed to drop more between shifts and helps with shift timing. But I could see the clutch height adjustment affecting the TOB as well. In any event, I think I'm going to leave it like this.
Stinks to hear your revised TOB died so early though. While my trans was apart, I had the shop throw in the Verus forged clutch fork and pivot. If the stock fork flexes as much as Verus indicates, I could see that also contributing to TOB failure.
As an update, I'm at 320 miles on the Exedy stage 1 and lwfw. Really loving this setup. It's exactly like I think a stage 1 (or OEM+ setup) should be.
