Patchbay with synths?

Anyone use a patchbay for a synth studio?
Had mine one day now…
How is your approach to the normal, half-normal modes?

Is it best have it in normal to not get feedback loops?
And can feedback loop damage equipment/ears? The manual just say to be very careful to not get feedback loops…
