My position is, until someone can conclusively prove that it is causing any damage to the clutch assembly then there is no reason for me to worry. I have examined the assembly with and without the spring and there doesn't seem to be any ill affect by running without. This mod is common on the Z and on the G as well, and I have yet to hear of a failure as a result of running without.
My advice would be to try it without. If you like it... great. Run it that way. If you like it but are worried about the limited speculation of possible long term negative effect... buy the weaker spring.

I've tried both as well and the only thing I noticed is more "slop" at the top of the pedal without the spring. I highly doubt this would cause any damage long term though as the clutch is still fully engaged. I personally run the lighter spring because I didn't like the slop. I also lowered the clutch pedal slightly and am very content with the oem clutch pedal now. Before I was bucking second like a fool
