Very valid points. Your health is certainly more important than a few fractions of a percent off your edge.
If you don't get down and stay down on progressives you lose a lot of the "meter-rise while you are playing" extra advantage.
At M where the rise on the active meter is only .5% the difference is small. The M progressives may be played almost like non-progressives at your convenience.
On a 3% single meter you would be loath to walk away before the JP hit.
