I just had my trans rebuilt last week by a shop in MI. Had them look at my stock clutch with 40k miles. Fortunately for me as a corner carver burnouts have never been my thing. Subsequently my clutch was in pristine shape and not replaced during the trans r&r.

The impression I got from the shop was activities you just described do shorten the life of our clutch. You likely took some time off it and caused premature wear. Hard to say how much. Depends on how you drive going forward when it will need replaced. No judgement . I've done the cruise. It's brutal on the knee and the clutch no matter how you drive.

Anytime you smell clutch you've reduced the lifespan and caused some premature wear. Learn from it going forward. It's not the end of the world and clutches can be replaced.
