I understand you don't have that problem. At least not yet.
Lol, unless I'm deadlifting 650, which I'm just over 100 pounds at this point, yet is a scary thought.. Whether its heavier rack deads, conventional with sets of 7-12, ect it's completely raw over under. But I'm sure I must be the exception to the rule. But that pretty much ties into what I was trying to say.. I don't use straps for 99% of what I do. Deadlifts come but once every two weeks for me. My grip gets plenty of work w/ the heavy weight I do for everything else. So, it depends on what kind of training people are doing. If it's limited without too much chance for working grips or if they're deficient, then go ahead and get it in deadlifting. For those of us who train like I do, and are far from being deficient, then don't be afraid to be lazy like me.

If I'm doing deadlifting and double it for 1-3 reps with the over over w/ 300 lbs, I feel I get more work doing some sets of 5 reps for weighted pullups w/ 40 lbs strapped to my 250 lb fatass. Or a 270 lb pulldown for 16 rest paused. That's the only point I'm trying to make..
