When I had that problem, I fitted a skimmed & lightened flywheel. It cured the problem. As the old flywheel had cracks all over it. If something is going to be needing replacing, I would do the clutch & flywheel is not cheap but better to do once and correct. Its a very common problem and a quick start will sort it out for a while
Have you tried 4000rpm start to see it helps it, also does it judder all the time or just when hot or cold

how long do you think the clutch will hold out before it needs changing ?

Back in the 90's it was common to experience clutch judder. The cure was to give a hard launch (with a little slip) to clean up the surfaces of both flywheel and plate.
Some people managed to get clutches etc changed under warranty at the the time though.
