If anyone has the right to say this, it's probably me, because I drove M/T in the Bay Area for years. Steep hills, 4mph traffic, circling the block for 30 minutes looking for parking, I've done it all, and the clutch was never a problem. Clutch operation is not something I have to think about, my foot moves where it needs to.
Granted, I did get left knee pain after moving to the East Coast, and operating the clutch for a whole day did make it hurt, but I could definitely manage a shorter drive.
