I didn't use them on my maple stuff last year and I did not have any problems.
For plugs with a lot of action like poppers and pencils I think they do offer protection to the wood around the belly holes which takes lots of abuse form the swinging hooks.. For swimming plugs I like them as they distribute a little more weight on the belly of the plug which should lessen roll.
I countersunk mine this year so I don't have to deal with rounding them over. I've painted them before but sometimes the paint chips off the grommets
