All correct! Also, anhedral helps a bit with the high alt dutch roll
case. I'd have to go into a lengthy explanation to cover it all, but
suffice it to say that swept wing airplanes are subject to a roll yaw
reversal at high altitues that can get rather unpleasnt ( complet loss
of control) Most must fly with a yaw damper, which is a gyro-controlled
rudder input that keeps the thing going straight. Anhedral offers a non
mechanical ad to ammelierating this effect. In fact, the russians are
notoriously clever at this sort of thing, which is why thye have madly
maneuverable fighters with more or less conventional control systems
while contemporary western aircraft relied on computers to achieve the
same results.
