Same thing with a fixed gear where you have almost no control over pedal position, they become a non-issue after a couple of rides.
You will instinctively avoid toe to wheel contact when making very slow tight turns, like making a U-turn on a sidewalk, for instance.
Took a month before I even noticed I had toe overlap- And was only when the LBS asked if it was causing a problem. It wasn't and isn't.
