Its nice to know you place gear that can take a fall so my comments not so far off, i don't know to many trad climbers that never fall on gear, falling on gear is scary but now you wont be as scared.
I found falling on gear on purpose very helpfull, I did it with a top rope backup and have found confidence in my placements and the system as a whole. " No Fall" mindset is OK but can lead to debilatiating fear in some situations. I think.
