The important part being needle imbalance, something I've warned others about myself, and was honestly sure I had certainly ruled it out.

Welp, you guys were right. Re-tuned, top end ended up being 3/4 turn richer, bottom was about 3/4 - a whole turn leaner, and the idle stop got dropped a lot. The unavoidable high idle is gone, the temps are lower, and the motor feels noticeably better, especially on the low end and transition to full throttle -- I don't have to babysit the throttle to keep it from loading up as much. The best part is that I can knock out both the high and low speed needle setting pretty darn close just on the box by ear -- and neither are more than an hour off after hitting the ground.
