(Being woken purely due to being too eager and gaining lucidity before the dream has taken hold seems to be a rather uncommon problem...)
To the contrary. Waking up due to the excitement is a very common occurance. I'm not gonna say problem, because it's not a problem. It's part of a learning process. I still wake up sometimes, because I start to laugh hysterically from happiness. And frankly, it's such an otherworldly and incredible feeling of happiness, that I don't care if that wakes me up.

And why in a world you would not count lucid dream as lucid if you wake up due to excitement? You are sabotaging yourself. Telling your mind I want a lucid dream, and then when it helps you get one, you say thank you but no thank you. That's not what I want. By gaining lucidity you reached your goal of having a lucid dream. Consider that done. Now set yourself another goal of reaching stability. You can learn in steps. No need to master it in one sitting.
