Don't worry about wear and tear on the starter.
When I was in the air force they came up with a lot of stupid rules.
One of those rules was called the roll over FOD check, that wasn't the problem, the problem is they put these check points all over the place on the flightline, to where it didn't even make any sense.
This lead to vehicles being stopped and restarted up to 100 times per day, 7 days a week.
You want to know how much hitting the starter 100 times per day shortened their life?
To my surprise it didn't even cut the life of the starter in half.
Doing that for 10 years I only had one starter fail on me and that vehicle was 14 years old at the time.
Time, weathering, corrosion is the main thing that kills starters.
Worring that starting it a hand full more times per day is going to wear out the starter faster is laughable.
