I don't see playing suited connectors as being more profitable for you, even with the positional advantage, as you stated yourself you don't like variance.

A lot of the profitability of these hands comes from pushing your draws hard, which obviously pumps up your variance.

Plus it is like a thousand times easier to play a set, even out of position. So I don't think this adjustment is necessary.

I do think, however, that everyone, including yourself, should play 6-max though. Its like soooo much more fun
