I'm right handed and I've always used my left-hand's thumb for spacebar as far as I remember. It might be the result of playing fps games (e.g. CS 1.0/1.6) when I was a kid.
I admit that I am having difficulty in some patterns which players who use thumb on their dominant hand have no problem dealing with (**patterns such as mid-column jackhammers and 185+ bpm column3 & columnMID trills/trill-burst).
I tried to switch and after more than a month of play, I gave up.
My right hand is very stiff. I was a bit better at patterns I'm normally bad with (like the ones I mentioned above**) but I became bad at everything else (Long notes, Chord Streams, etc.).
Eventually, do I really have to switch to reach even pre-ET/ET level?
I've seen some gameplay videos of ET players and all of them use their thumb of their dominant hand. I haven't seen or heard anyone who reached ET level on 7k using the thumb of their off-hand. (Maybe some of those I've seen are using the other thumb but I can't distinguish either way and people evenrarely talk about it either if they do).
