(Testing my own elementary understanding of the 216 oiling system)
I see where you're going as it relates to the pressurized components. More starting pressure at the mains, etc. ought to make up for some pressure loss due to excess clearance.
However, would a higher pressure pump change the situation in any meaningful way at the connecting rods? Do the 216 Rod dippers get somewhat oil starved from the supplying sprayer if the mains are worn and leaking pressure?
