I am leaning towards a similar conclusion. Would I be happier going faster? Well let's put it this way. I am the most happy when the trail speed is fast but comfortable and I can command the bike to hit any lip or side hit I want. Going mach chicken at the bikes limit is the sort of fun that you are happy to ride away from but wish you had brought the full face and neck brace for.
Great point and nope I am not racing. I would also agree that big wheels and increased travel are both tools for the same job, smoothing the jank.
