Never in my 28 years, and 6 figures of rounds down range on the AR did I think I’d rather have or need the brass eject to the left.
Quite the opposite in fact as lefties have a decided advantage when clearing or dealing with stoppages.
I did long pine for Ambi controls like the safety and mag release, but those are looked after with added parts or even dedicated lowers now.
As far as gas and residue (probably mostly oil if you are running it wet) in the face, you may be exposed to a bit more (but not guaranteed) than a righty, especially one that is suppressed but wearing good eye protection (which you should anyhow) pretty much solves that.
