True, but I’ve not driven a multidisc clutch that would allow itself to be “slipped” for smooth engagement.. Mostly due to lack of wafer springs behind the linings...
Those springs are called"Marcel" and provide a progressive friction load for smooth clutch engagement. The center springs provide lower shock to be transmitted to the drive line. Bob Peckham's McLaren M8C used a dual disc clutch but it rattled when the pedal was pushed in. I'd suggest a single-disc clutch with Marcel and a spring center. A high-friction clutch material should be able to handle the torque. Driving a racing clutch on the street in traffic is not a pleasant experience.
