Between going \#1FG with that perfectly straight chainline on my hardtail and both moving my ring inboard (straighter chainline on my FS bike in my highest torque gears) and shifting like I'm poor and shitty high-load shifts cost $$ (which they do) I'm knocking on wood (Canadian maple to be precise) but haven't had a chain break in years. If one does I'll use my pliers to break it (snap off the outer plates) and just insert the quick link. Worst case, if I lose a few links, I'll adjust the limits to use the 50t cog I rarely use anyway.
Easy!
