Me too. But a friend who's been riding (and racing) for over 30 yers said he's never damaged gearbox doing clutchless up changes.
I never use the clutch when changing up, except when riding very slow and easy (even then just between 1st and 2nd gears).
I always use it when changing down, ofcourse.
It takes some practice, but it can be done very smoothly when done well, no stress on the g-box/engine.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
