      I think you are good as described, the smaller and more turbulent the chamber and higher the compression (separate issues even though it seems like its the same) the less it will need total, and if it starts, nothing wrong with high initial.

      You may experience stinky exhaust at idle that you want to blame the carb, but its only that the EGTs are so much cooler with the high initial it doesn't burn the stink off

      Finally, not sure where you are from, but lots of initial (and a quick curve) is bad for emissions testing too, so dont expect it to pass a sniffer if required.
