Which script do you use for leeches?
There are several scripts for leeches. I rarely use them to study, I only look at the numbers and try to keep them low.
You will need to make the choice that is right for you, of course, but just so’s you know, the re-order script is pretty much the only script I use because I truly need it, so at least some people (me) really benefit. My process is to get my radicals out of the way when I first level up, then do the kanji and vocab lessons in the days after, while I’m working on getting the first radicals to guru. The reason is to keep myself levelling up quickly (~8 days per level) while I have my reviews more even because I didn’t do a ton of lessons on any one particular day.
Without it I would either level up really slowly, or do 60+ lessons in one day, and either way, I would have this “lull” at the end of the level where I don’t have any new lessons and barely any reviews for 3 days, and then back to 100s of both, which is TORTURE for me just waiting to get kanji up to guru at the end of the week.
Also as long as you don’t use reorder for lessons, everything should be fine. Just using it for large review piles will help you prioritize level-up items, or items that have been in that pile the longest.
I agree however that ignore and double check require a lot of discipline and can be a slippery slope sometimes
I might use it if I get a huge backlog that needs to be taken down, oldest first, but try avoid that from happening to begin with. I will try to not focus on speed, and just level at the pace that comes natural 
皆さん, you gotta believe me: I had 0 lessons this morning. But sadly I cleared my review queue too late and now I leveled up (⌣。_ ⌣”):
This still counts, right?

The last levels contain more and more weird kanji and vocabs. Sometimes even jukugo vocabs can’t be guessed from the kanji (like for example 熊之実: bear + this + truth = clownfish).
Between levels 17 and 54 I haven’t had a single day with more than 300 reviews, since level 54 I have had three of them.









Feels good to have finally cleared it out though!
