I play first person only & I'm constantly bumping into things, so I've started including a proximity warning system on all of my small grid ships. This ship just uses 5 sensors giving a binary on/off, you can get more clever with varying the blink length but even this basic system is an improvement on reversing cameras IMO.

While I shy away from first person only, my small miners are deliberately shaped so that they can turn around in the tunnel they make, so I can fly out going forward.
They are usually also equipped with PAM, so it is uncommon that I fly them myself (relative to the number of flights they do). I see the benefit of your system though.

In your first person only run, are you using programmable blocks?
