I have been "bump" or "roll" or "kiss" statrting the engine in EOC routines for a couple years now, and I still have my original clutch, the one installed at the factory in 1998 and now with 209,000 miles on it. Start modestly. Pick a gear two gears above the one you would choose for your speed. You just want to "kiss" touch the clutch pads to the flywheel. When done at its best, you barely notice the moment of contact at all and the engine just floats to life. But often, you might feel it slightly, and that is not the end of the world either.
Just be conservative in your experiments, and if it does not feel right, don't do it.
It's better if you love the driving you have to do, so don't sweat it.
Cheers,
james
