Losing casts isn't the end of the world (entirely), especially for Hagakure, where there's a variable worth to each cast you do or don't get with it. I could get a 1, 2, or 3 (Sen) charge for each cast, so the loss of a cast that would at best be 1-Sen Hagakure for example, wouldn't hurt that much. So you're right in that regard. I don't think there's a bunch of hard math on that, because it seems like it'd be difficult to properly calculate the worth of lost casts vs. sitting on it earlier in fights to get up to 3-Sen charges.

Generally speaking though, losing potential casts over the course of a fight is not ideal. That's not saying you should hit Hagakure at 2-Sen to avoid this, but it's to say you should avoid holding it so that you can use Midare, for example.
