I did avoid pinholes, it was a personal thing with me. But mine all had rounding on the corners, a couple had pencil marks on the back, and my Elberfeld even had a red crayon mark in the middle of it.
I do think T3s without pinholes are harder to find for the reason you mentioned.
It's one of those things... if I collected a 1965 set I'd be fine with PSA 6 or 7. I wouldn't need 9s. When I collected T3s, I stayed away from pinholes and water damage but could accept bad corners, normal wear, and a few marks. If I resumed collecting them today, I might prefer pinholes with no pencil marks, I don't know.
It's totally up to you which quirks you choose to have.
