We??? as in you and me?? or are you looking for a vote????

You can build your engines any way you want----

But, please consider the fact that I have never had a valve push thru or shear the keeper grooves----I use lash caps that are either combined with the keepers or that have the valve tip shortened til the clearance is taken up between the lash cap and keepers. this way, there is no valve spring pressure adding hundreds of lbs of force to the valve stem, except during the lash part of the cam rotation!
