There are more factors than just the clutch stop that can cause wearing of synchros, but this is one that can easily be eliminated reduced/eliminated.

Not really accurate.
The engagement occurs with the same amount of clutch pedal throw or travel that it did with or without the stop.
The stop merely limits the pedal travel with the goal of eliminating excess or unnecessary pedal travel.
If the travel is reduced too much with the stop, then the clutch would not completely disengage.
Again, engage / disengage would occur at the same points in the pedal travel. The question is whether or not the pedal is free to reach those points or not with the stop installed.
