went from straps to clipless about 25 years ago (after being 'strapped' for years) and during those first rides, I found myself once too often lying on the sidewalk next to the red traffic light I wanted to stop for... Changing reflexes from pulling my foot backwards to twisting it, brought me in some silly looking situations.
Recently I bought a vintage racebike with straps and though I didn't fall, it took me again some rides to get used to the different way of getting my feet unfastened.
