I never had any trouble from using one like this.

And in a long ago land before certain design refinements became
widespread, the other end was just as useful.

If you use a certain film cassette opener, it won't crimp the end

Then you are probably the right person to ask this question - can
you re-use commercial film canisters? I am somewhat embarrassed to
admit this in a public forum but I just developed 2 rolls of
Pro-Max 100. Just for the fun of it I tried popping the end of
each canister off with just my fingers, no can opener. They came
off easily and after the film was spooled I put the canister,
center spool and ends back together. Both of them look perfectly
serviceable. Did you ever try re-using the actual canister? I
don't think this would work with Kodak or Fuji canisters - the end
caps on those seem to be held on tight and a can opener is needed
to get them off - but who knows about other brands, like UltraFine
and Adox etc...
If I can reuse the canisters, which normally sell for about $1
each, then the $1.75 per roll I paid for the Pro Max was not a
terribly bad deal.
