To bounce the deadlift or not to, that is the question.

That's what I think.
Very true. Don't pause between bench reps either brah - you'll smash heaps more

I don't like the feel of bouncing it anyway, form feels like shit.

Yes - you should be doing everything you can to make sure every movement you do in the gym is easier and easier...

Its a bit like the difference between T&G vs Paused benching. I never bounce my deads but when doing higher rep sets I do tend to T&G vs stop, lose tension, pause, lift again. If its a 10 rep set then I'm so flogged that the last few reps end up being fully paused anyway as I struggle for breath but it in no way makes the lift harder as I don't bounce it when doing T&G anyway so get no "assistance" from the bounce momentum.
Each to their own. You're training for yourself, but if you want to be super strict then pause it like a paused bench.

If I'm going to want to build, strengthen and improve the flexibility of the lower muscleture safely I'm going to use the dead-lift, I'm going to lift smoothly and lower smoothly, I'm going to re-set each rep once I hit the floor.
If I'm training for a powerlifting competition, I would be doing the same plus I would also train singles, I would lift the weight, then drop it and repeat. I would be doing mostly rep work until I get closer to the comp and the start gradually focusing more on my singles.

What I do is load the bar with bumper plates. Once I lock out I let go & wait for the bar to bounce back, re-grip while in the air & lock out.
It took a while to get the timing down with the grip but its working for me.

How nice it would be if we under simplified
This is directed at the OP.
He is deadlifting 135kg.
I say deadlift and add weight...
Every can get a little too into it sometimes.
If a 160kg person comes on here we dont give them a total list of macro and micro nutrients and a complete eating list. We make general reccomendations.
I think OP just needs to get stronger and not so much worry about "bouncing" I would like to see weights bouncing on concrete. If he concentrated on getting stronger and bigger then there wouldnt be a problem. This is trivial in the grand schemes of things in regards to his trianing.
