I used to always have a current one but after 8 years of paying for two IDPs each time and never having been asked for it (but have presented a laminated copy of normal license - or more commonly an expired genuine license many times), I now carry just an expired IDP

Well, my home insurance has cost me $400/year for the last 10 years and I've never really needed it either
But that won't stop me from buying it anyway
In Indonesia it is the law to have either a local licence issued through the police station or an IDP. Nope, I was never asked for it, but then I was also never pulled over. When you consider the cost of a trip in general, paying $25 - $55 for an "insurance policy" is nothing.
I'm not sure what the OP means by "restricted licence". But if you don't have a proper licence to begin with maybe you need to wait to get the proper one before setting out ...or be prepared to deal with potential consequences without expecting much sympathy from others when things go wrong.
