A couple of weeks ago I was helping a gent via telephone / text on his A that was running a bit rough. Asked him to check the gaps and he found they were off.
He adjusted the gaps and now his car is in his own words "running better than it ever has".

I've never broken a rotor by bending the tab but I am very careful to grip it as tightly and as close to the tab as possible when bending it. If and when I do break one it is certainly not going to be the end of the world for me.
