TBH I only died twice on my first and only Inside playthrough, zipping through it in a couple of hours: it was enjoyable, and I found my experience of it very different from Limbo.
At first I was disappointed, but then I also vividly remember feeling fully immersed during those few hours since I basically did not run into checkpoints.
It worked great for Limbo, Inside and I loved those. Just different tastes.
