I only fly one rocket drogueless, that's a 3" LOC tube scratch built that weighs about 4 lbs.
I have no problem flying a JLCR on a motor eject because the bundled chute works like a drogue and controls the decent.
I do have a problem with flying large DD rockets without a drogue and allowing the majority of the flight, apogee to main deploy, to be flown with NO control of the flight profile. Chaos will eventually get you! Sure, a well balance rocket will drop right without a drogue, until it doesn't. Without a drogue to set and control the flight profile during the drop, there is nothing to prevent the main from deploying under the fin can and everything come crashing down.
I know flying HPR is all about risk management. If you are OK with risking a crash on a 15 lb rocket because the drop from apogee didn't happen the way it had the previous 5 or 10 flights that's OK. The risk of injury is probably super small, the risk of damage to the rocket might be higher, but still acceptably small.
I've just seen too many failures or near misses because of drogueless flights that I won't do it except on small DD flights. Again, risk management.
BTW, just because the LCO says congrats and great flight over the PA, doesn't mean the flight wasn't a near miss. </rant off>
