Yeah I don't think wear is an issue really, it's going to be noisy and harsh for daily use, it might wear you out instead.
shifts on power would be nice though, and the close ratio gearing in a box like that would be really great.
theres a in-car video of a race elise going against a street corvette at nurburing, the gearbox is so ******* noisy I can't imagine driving it every day on the street... at least not with passengers.

That Elise doesn't have a sequential box. He uses the clutch and the shifter is H-pattern. It makes a lot of noise because it must use spur gears in the box. With helical gears like most production cars it would be quieter. There is no reason why you couldn't use helical gears in a sequential box, they are just more expensive to make. Normally helical gears are actually stronger, but when using spur gears they usually put fewer, thicker teeth on each gear.
