Pretty cut and dry here; most folks do the net 1.4" without RC for budgetary reasons, and live with the compromise.
Creative solutions like a drop knuckle or extended top perch is precisely how longer dampers like Penskes or Ohlins are run.
You have a setup on your car that I wish my budget (and classing) allowed for on mine.

LOL..no it's not. Not even close.
If you had a BONE STOCK stock car with a 45mm drop knuckle kit, the car would still have factory geometry. If you tried to raise it any further from where it is, or lower it any further from where it is, you have compromised geometry.
But at least in the case of lowering, you're not sweeping past the optimum angle on compression. Your control arm will always be operating under that angle save for weird cases of excessive droop, which is not an issue generally and would be on the unloaded side anyway.
However, if you raise your car, as the suspension compresses, the control arms (on the knuckle side) will travel from below the pickup point on the subframe, to neutral, to above. This transition will cause unpredictable behavior because of nonlinear and not even unidirectional changes in roll resistance and camber curves
