Also many a places its mentioned that the DVD is a set of 12 DVD but I only found 3 set DVD. Support pages mention that installer will ask for other part of the DVD as an option. It never asked, only driver cd/dvd was asked. Just wondering that did I missed something?
The Debian installer does not know how many CDs or DVD there are nor what they contain.
I remember that, after scanning the first installation disk, the Debian installer used to ask whether I wanted to scan other disks. I have not seen that option for a long time. Maybe it is available only when booting from a real optical disk instead of a USB drive.
Also I installed with Sudo option (no root account), will this be of any disadvantage at anytime in future over Sudo considering I'm not a power user.
Yes. It will be a disadvantage if you need to log in directly as root to fix things when log in as a normal user does not work any more (e.g. /home filesystem full or mounted read-only or could not be mounted, or corrupted user profile).
There is just one downside I know of: if the system panics on boot, e.g. because it can't mount the root file system (say, because it's corrupted), it will ask you for the root password before giving you a root shell
Of course not. If the initramfs cannot mount the root filesystem, it cannot read /etc/shadow and check the root password. It just drops a root shell.
The root password is asked when booting in emergency mode, either when selecting a "rescue" entry in the boot loader or when something went wrong during the init phase, e.g. a filesystem listed in /etc/fstab could not be mounted.
