I putt around town and shift without the clutch sometimes, but quick stab the clutch on WOT shifts. You might get away with no clutch longer on a car like Hio's.....moderate power level and lighter weight. Bigger power and weight you risk ripping the plates off the gears.

Whether that's the clutch, ignition, fuel, rpm limiter, lifting off etc etc is up to you.
But the edges of the "dogs" are designed so that when loaded they will not want to dis-engage, basically so there's minimal cahnce of it ever jumping out of gear
Trying to rip it out of gear when loaded hard...I could easily see it damaging parts of the shift mechanism

I try to minimize the amount of time I spend depressing the clutch pedal.
The longer you hold it, the more wear/less life left in the spinning, touching metal parts that make contact.
In most applications, you only get one chance to add grease to the TOB: when you install it for the first time. Then, its sealed up in there until the clutch burns up. In a daily driver app, that could be 50k miles. If you hold the clutch every single time you are at a light, the TOB will probably not make it. Depends on the manufacturer and installation type, but FWIW I thought it worth mentioning we should not hold our foot, or even rest our foot, against the clutch pedal when not necessary.

TOB's are sealed bearings, you do not add grease to them and they last a very very long time.
Although what relevance your post has to faceplating.....bit of a mystery.

I brought it up because I watch the video, and the guy was saying "I leave it in gear when I come to a stop, holding the clutch" and I was thinking to myself thats a great way to cut the life of the TOB in half on many cars.
