DeDRM runs automatically when I'm importing Overdrive books to Calibre (I could disbale plugin, but not worth the hassle and I want to run Count Pages anyways). I delete the book file when I'm done with it.
For me, I don't bother to import the books to calibre. I create an empty book as a placeholder. I prefer to avoid temptation if possible. For library books, I think I would find myself going 'I might want to re-read it, the chances are good that the library copy will have exceeded it's usage limit and is no longer available and it's already in my calibre library so who is being hurt if I keep the copy'. Vade retro me satana!

Bring to mind one of my favourite quotes:
