Yeah sure a derated Thrust T/O will use a tiniewinie bit of extra tarmac...... not much though versus a full power on the brakes which on powerful underslung engined a/c may in fact start to pick up bits of threshhold!

Speaking ISA conditions B757 Wt of 90 t will still climb out on a derated Thrust @ about 3000fpm!

Full thrust will only coz a few busy moments. With over pitch (company limit) of 20 degrees to keep our V2+20 which keeps our neighbours happy and keeps our (company) climbout noise abatement procedure. Then u got an early Altitude Capture which unless uve selected Climb Thrust will see u accelerating thru 350 kts very quickly as u retract the flaps, checkin with Atc and I could go on and on and on.

I do derated thrust T/O everywhere unless Safety dictates it or Mel item or If windshear/Cbs close by / observed or reported.

I like to keep life simple! Never had this problem on TurboProps!

Hope that helps.
