I've shot a lot of SR and LR comp's, 600 and 1K IBS-NBRSA stuff. Did some winning. I never cleaned primer pockets or the inside of necks. I don't understand this need for having sparkling shiny brass. Must some sexual issue they're compensating for. That's a joke.
I wipe the outside of the neck with steel wool, FL size.
I've never had FTF from dirty pockets. It's either I didn't put any powder in or decades ago I learned not seating primers forcefully to the bottom of the primer pocket can cause problems.
I do clean primer pockets just because but I’ve never seen any improvement on target but don’t clean necks and use steel wool same as you and I’ve never had any issues with that process.
