All the same, I still prefer to play safe and use "Safely Remove Hardware". I have my USB flash drive set to "Optimise for quick removal" which - in theory - means that it should never have any write operations pending, but still, after I've copied a lot of files to it, when I do a "Remove Hardware" on it, the activity light on it flashes madly for a few seconds. I just don't trust that setting; I think it's far safer to always do it the safe way.
