That's just the sort of thing I wanted to avoid.

But now I've found that "my" way doesn't show the durations
in the Agenda views; yours does.
So I have switched all the entries to your way.

On some days, I have several of these entries for
different tasks, so I get "Clocking overlap" errors in
the Day-Agenda view when I use the clockcheck
function.

OK, the solution to that is to ignore those errors ...
