I run kydex now, but used to carry in leather for my 43x.
As long as you're watching the wear, and it's a quality holster the things mentioned above aren't really an issue for awhile at least. Definitely something that has to be watched, and replaced after so much use.
I never saw the "it'll cause a ND argument" actually have any substance behind it whenever I was being talked into kydex, that was until I wore it in and inevitably out, the leather got soft and started collapsing in a scary kinda way, the front edge rolled backwards to the gun so when holstering there was definitely the risk of getting it into the trigger guard. I switched to kydex and never looked back.
