My best deadlift ever was 567 last month, never used straps in my life. Just chalk and an overhand overhand pull.
Pull hook if you have the balls for it. Over/under should be a last resort in my personal opinion. For a top level athlete it always ends one of two ways; large muscle imbalances or a torn bicep.
Interesting...everything I've ever read said over-under grip was THE way to do deadlifts...
pretty minimal risk. It hurts but you’ll adapt. You don’t feel the pain when you pull a PR.I use them once i get up around 300 on deads. Ive done the breathing POB mentioned but probably not properly and in the way he laid out to do it.
What are the odds of an injury to the thumb with a hook grip? Ive never used one before but im all for whatever will aid in lifting heavier.
i would STRONGLY advise against hooks for dl. You need to be able to bail if necessary.I have deadlifted a max of 505 without straps of any kind but my grip was on a razor's edge of failing. Once I got to the top of the lift I didn't have a choice to let go or not, it was coming down lol
Snake's thread about the hooks has me curious and I'm sort of looking into them.

You can pull that double overhand? Wow.
No one cares.I’ve pulled 585 double overhand sumo, but failed at conventional. The speed off the floor rips it out of my hands.
I would have been very proud of you.It was supposed to say overhand underhand :32 (4):
You never miss a thing jin.
No one cares.

One easy change you can make is stop thinking of your sets as a group of reps. Think of it as successive singles. Your setup and bracing are very important for a max effort single. The more practice you can get the better.
