Once you understand and get used to it there is no problem at all.
I agree the throwout bearing sure leaves alot to be desired.Very noisy brand new??We can only hope it doesn't get any louder as time goes on.
On any other american auto a throwout bearing that makes that much noise in neutral with the pedal fully released needs replacing.Thats usually after about 60 to 70 thousand miles!This is a new Nissan design so time will tell.
You may want to search for how to adjust the engagement point of the clutch, it is fairly simple, and you can lower the engagement point closer to the floor by maybe 1-2 inchs. After I did my, I found it much easier to shift smoother.
