Re tailstock- It also depends on how tight you wind it up, there is doing it up so it's safe and doing it up to tight that it flexes your turning job and when your turning thin diameters over tighting May cause your run out and split the timber.
when I have needed tailstock on really thin work I have even drilled a 3mm diameter hole to give the the lathe centre some relief into the timber. ( which needs to be worked in to design so hole stays in waste)
it all comes down to how you feel what the timber is doing and length of work.
And how it's gripped at the headstock if it's in a chuck its only needed for roughing down.
The short finial I turned the other day way between centres so it needed tailstock for whole operation. As the timber was not long enough fir my design to hols in chuck.

That's how I'll do it from now on. I think I unnecessarily kept the tailstock up a bit too long last time. Beginners nerves/insecurity.
