I've never used booktyping and never had a problem, just remember to set the layer break

Booktyping is not something that you have to do. It just helps burn the discs in the most compatible format. But if done correctly they should all still work without booktyping.

correct, any drive bought in about the last year or year and a half will do this automatically.

You'd better check your sources again.
