I personally (not being very dextrous) would avoid toe overlap at almost any cost. I used to ride with it but that was on long rides country-side training rides where it is was hardly ever necessary to turn the wheel much, and I learnt to co-ordinate no problem ..
In London, commuting, zig-zagging through traffic, sharp-cornering where there is no time or room to wait for the cranks to be in the right place ???? oh ... no, no, no,! ... disastrous (but probably funny for on-lookers) with my co-ordination ..
