Right now I'm adding gas when the clutch is like 80% released, but I'm not sure if this is considered pre-mature wear on the clutch

80% clutch released? or 80% of friction point released? All clutch pedals have a "dead zone" at the top of the travel where nothing happens.
But to answer your question, a "little bit" of gas at the end of the friction point is necessary to ensure smooth transition between gears. The clutch is a wear item so it's not really a big deal unless you're giving it too much gas where your engine is revving but power isnt transferring completely.
