Gloves are fine. They will not eliminate callouses but they will help a little. They also help to improve your grip strength a little.

Heavy deadlifts are great for getting bigger and stronger but I think their overall benefit is overrated because they are also a very risky exercise. A herniated disc in your back is the gift that keeps on giving.
If your goal is to take on the world , wrestle bears and strut around then deadlift. If it is to maintain a healthy and relatively strong physique for the longterm I would strategically avoid them. Its so easy to have a momentary slip in lifting form (particularly when pushing your limits) and really screw yourself over.
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no ****.
