Dave, The instructors said don't left foot brake, meaning until you get some experience on track. LFBing when you start and have too much to concentrate on will just confuse most people as it is not "normal" for them. Too Much Input. I used to LFB when a downshift wasn't required, it allows for a smoother transition from throttle to brake to throttle.
Most cars don't have a comfortable heel/toe relationship in the pedals. You just modify the set-up to work for you. Maybe adjust the pedal heights so the throttle is even with the brake when pushed on hard, or add a tab to the throttle to bring the two closer. I extended my brake pedal for more leverage/longer throw. This made the bottom of the gas pedal more available.

Sit in the car and check it out.
