Could it be that I was attempting to point out, that your instance on

Sounds reasonable to me. Do the safer thing! Where I fly, that's
generally a close-in pattern and power off abeam the landing spot.

If that causes problems in the pattern, then the safer thing is to fly
a wider pattern at a higher speed.
