Hey, I say do whatever works for you! Of course I can say that because I am STILL riding around with the clip-on cheater pedals that they use in the bike store for people who don't have bike shoes. I talked them into letting me have a set "until I got used to the clipless" pedals and I still haven't taken them off (despite dh's eye-rolling.). I had a fall about a week into riding and got scared. Now I often ride with only my right foot clipped in when I'm going uphill. I am terrified that I'll drop the chain when I'm going slow and fall again...
