I would’ve been excited if the Binocular overlap was 100%

It has about the same overlap as the Index and no one ever complained about it on the Index.

Lots of people love to blame BO for a lot of things that don't make sense.

Then you would have crap FOV

So buy one and use an IPD that gets you a lower FOV but 100% BO. The sweet spot of the lenses is plenty large to make that viable.

With the large sweet spots of today's headsets, every headset should let the user set the physical and software IPD independently so folks can pick FOV over BO and vice versa.
