Learning to "less than a feet" doesn't take much desu it's just a bit scary when starting but you only really need to get used to it with a bit of town riding so you start and stop at slow speed and with low traffic, as i said i rarely scooted over with my butt to flat foot at stops i was much more comfortable just putting down on one tip-toe after the second ride with the full height bike.
As long as you are coming to a full stop nice and smooth and already prepared with a feet down it really is not a big deal even if it's just on one tip toe like me! emergency stops might be a bit tricky but to be fair i had to only do it twice (both time kinda hard, sliding rear tire as it was starting to lift) i still didn't have problems and didn't fall.
Some nice thing to make into habits is actually LEFT foot down and first gear ready (right if you ride on the left and in that case you don't worry about gear) since most roads are slightly curved to drain water and you already gain something there, and becoming always wary of the angles of the roads (like valleys and bumps in the asphalt from uneven surface more than potholes and cracks) so you don't stop in bad spots where you touch on the left, don't on the right unless scooting A LOT and are in the wrong gear (happend once not fun it becomes a really stressfull balance act to not drop the bike on yourself)
Bike weight and proper riding boots help a lot actually, i got some average dainese boots and compared to my riding sneakers they felt even more secure when doing that stuff and when i was getting my license even if the sv650 was much lower seatwise it was so much heavier, i was also very unexperienced o i guess now it would probably be fine
