While everyone says it's terrible to re-use pins on a 11 speed chain, I did and I never had any issues. I got to ride my bike on a day when the bike shops weren't open so I could get another quick link or break-away pin.

Even if I did have an issue, what's it going to do? I've walked my bike home or called for a ride for other issues. Why not for my chain falling off?

Though if you can avoid doing it, I would. It is a tiny and tedious thing to get lined up correctly and not do any damage to the chain. But once done, why not just find out if the nay-sayers were correct. In my case they were wrong. I got four years on that chain with that re-used pin.
