I started about the same time you did. I unclip with both lots now. In addition to your reasons, I like the chance to just get my feet off the pedals.
It's like being untied.

Boy oh boy can I relate........ I too am tired of separating myself from my skin. Road rash hurts after all. I'm still healing from my last fall.
Chin up - its gonna get better, right??

not alone
Also new to cycling, put clipless pedals on just a couple weeks before RAGBRAI...and I am so glad to hear that someone else has an "I didn't think of not being able to tilt my bike while clipped in story." Unfortunately I have also learned about turning on gravel, bumps, and left to right on a road bike and how that differs from my old mtn. bike...or maybe I am just a tad clumsier than most.

sounds like it might be a good idea to ride with heavy jeans for a while when learning this skill!
