If they go empty on you, it is possible you will be buying a replacement bag. When empty, they do make the ride harsh because there is always pressure in them.
I like the Stable Loads from Torklift.
If you can feel 5psi in the bags on a 3/4 or 1 ton truck then you are very very sensitive. I can't tell a difference in ride if I am at 10 psi or less, but above 10 psi the ride decreases very rapidly with an empty truck.
I like the upper Stable Loads, but would never touch the lower ones. They put the spring in an unnatural position, which leads to spring fatigue. Consider that Tork Lift adds a spring warranty. Why would they warranty an item then didn't make, sell, or install?? Sure its covered, but why increase the chance of a spring failure or issue.

I believe that this is a myth or applies to trucks with weak springs or get heavily loaded while the bags are empty. I use a stem core removal tool on my valves when I'm not running the camper. I have had no problems.
Not a myth, you are just lucky. Go look at how little compression room there is for your airbags with a static suspension. The 5psi keeps the bag from bottoming out in normal driving.
