I suggest you re-read the list of disadvantages of SJ - taken from a site promoting slim drills - but as they point out, it has pros and cons.
The reason we have formation damage, as has been pointed out numerous times, was the need to use heavy mud to control overpressured gas in a "crumbly reservoir".
We couldn't have done that, drilling slim.
