Something that may help that I've observed: It seems like fall damage only occurs when you've set your spawn with a bed (at least, for exiting the End). I've only tested this with two worlds so far: one on a friend's realm, and one on my own world. From that data, there's no fall damage when spawning at the world-spawn, just when you have a spawnpoint set by a bed.
