Yep! I for one am glad I learned from an 8 meter wide unpaved strip, with high voltage cables partly blocking 1 side.
It teaches you to be accurate, and the decision to "commit" to a landing is something you learn to not take too lightheartedly, with only very limited ways of escape on the other end.
Not to say that my landings are brilliant on bigger strips, far from! (I wish).
But it does give me confidence to have such a wide stretch of asphalt to play with, right there in front of me!
