I've thought about doing this ( I idle at 600rpm ) but it really only presents itself on the rare instance I want to park in a very tight parking spot where I lock right or left and then have to straighten out without moving very much. I don't see this symptom when crawling as I'm in 4LO and so the rpms are already higher at a given throttle pedal position.

The stock pump does OK with smaller rams.

X2 for me too. No problems for a year on 40s with a stock (WTO rebuilt) gear and the PSC pump and reservoir.
