Skip shifting is really not a big deal. To me, this is a classic Ford vs. Chevy debate, you will have an equal number of opinions, some of them overly passionate. In the end, it comes down to what works for your rhythm, your comfort, etc. I have been shifting from 5th to 3rd going into T1 on Summit Point for 30 years. Haven't broken anything once.
If you want to try it, you will want to delay your shift so that you aren't revving so high. You can easily practice the motion and the feel on the street. Obviously, if you do so, you won't be doing it with the same speed differentials (at least I hope not), but it will get you used to the motion. Going into slow highway off ramps is a good opportunity to practice.
Have fun. Go fast, take chances
