Old, I don't like bending things....
Block is removable, weaking the throttle pedal strut is not..
I see your point...but not for me, don't want to stress a cable at full throttle.
I already removed the block (behind the pedal) so I know about snapping cables and have calibrated it for the top block. Some thought and experience actually went into this...somewhat..
It's all about what you get used to (flywheels, pedal extenders, cable management, my technique in heel toe) and what you are willing to get used to.
