1. Travel outside US while a EOS/COS is pending with USCIS only when it is unavoidable.
2. If ones stay is expiring, file extension earlier rather than at last moment. If any reasons in filing extension at last moment then file extension in premium. USCIS gives ample time, its up to the extension seeker to plan appropriately.
3. Once visa expires, one needs a valid I797 to get a new one. Always try to keep Visa, I94, I797 in sync.
4. Going out of status should be avoided at all cost, as the longer the out of status period the more the questions during future GC processing.
Bottom line, - keep yourself aware of all the laws and follow them in letter and spirit. USCIS can not be held liable for one not knowing the law.
This is my opinion not legal advice.
