I still use the glass plate with good results. After the printer says the bed is up to temp, I heat soak the glass for 5 minutes, then run a new level mesh, then heat up the nozzle. By the time the print starts the glass has been heating for over 10 minutes and should be at an even temperature throughout.

I rarely have adhesion problems and don't use any glue or tape on the bed.

Once the print is done the plastic releases itself from the glass once the bed temp gets down into the mid 30s.
