Yes, I just got 14oz dry from 4 medi bud fems that i fimmed and lst'ed. I also fimmed some Brainstorm fems with great results also. Good, sound genetics are more dfificult to cock up than you think... you get what you pay for is my life rule.

A couple of times...

If you have properly feminized seeds then your plants should be just as tolerant of "stress" as plants grown from regular seeds.

I've grown tons of feminized seeds and despite putting my plants through the occasional stress throughout the years (nute burn/def/PHfluctuation/hot temps/light leaks/training until broken etc.) I've never had a single pollen sac pop out.

I have however had a handfull of true hermies come from a batch of feminized bagseed. But more than likely they were a result of hermie polinated females rather than female polinated females.

I've never heard of feminized seeds from reputable breeders (greenhouse, big buddha) being prone to any sort of staminate growth.

I wouldn't sweat it. Prune to your heart's content.

I always fim at about 2 weeks from seed and as soon as roots are developed in clones. I begin severe training as soon as the new stems are sturdy enough to have string tied around them and not cutting in. I train my 5 (sometimes 3)stems to grow horizontally in a way that would look like a the spokes of a cartwheel, that way you can fit several close together in an alternative sea of green. The finishing height is never more than 18 inches. I have used this method due to height restrictions in my loft space. I hope this helped.
