If you are so stretched out that you are craning your neck up, you might get used to it and you might not.

I found though that sometimes it's the helmet obscuring my forward vision when my head is lower. So adjusting helmet position or getting a helmet that is not as low or bulky in the front can help a lot with neck soreness by you not having to hold your head up so far.
Good point with the visor impeding vision

But mine is suitably raised

I doubt I'll get used to the neck-craning

Because I am naturally inflexible

Thanks for your feedback
