I seldom pin, but I do glue baste or I finger pin and baste the intersections. It has been quicker and easier for me this way. But I do have a number of pins with little knick marks on them from being grazed by the needle :roll:
I was told on computerized machines, that hitting the pins can throw the machine out of timing? So that scared me and I found alternative methods...

I get a lot of teasing about the number of pins I use and yes, it's a pain but as a hand quilter I need a lot of pins plus I normally hand baste in both directions as well. For small projects, I don't hand baste, just pin.

I sew over pins on all my machines. Only broken about 4 needles in a decade. Of course, speed is a big factor. If I go slightly less than 100mph on my machine, the needle has a chance to slide down the side of the pin rather than hit it pin straight on and break the needle and bend the pin.
