Hm, maybe that's my personal attitude to staling. I must say I never staled a single time and I'm not going to. But things
do happen and not having an escape way may be very painful.
Btw, I'm not agree that stale early on is a lot less important than a later one. Early years determine how your nation will look like after indies are over and 3-4 provinces you lose due to stale always matter.
But, of course, all this is a matter of personal preference. I see absolutely no problem in doing early turns *relatively* fast, I just don't like limits
