this shouldn't interfere with the clipless learning curve at all. the only time riding clipless is even thought about is when starting and stopping. when you're at the point you need to unclip and put your foot down, you can't or shouldn't be shifting. when starting off, you should be in the right gear to start off from before you stopped, so again, clipping in shouldn't interfere with the new shifter learning curve.
