nothing wrong with running thicker fluid

it allows you to have a nice slow rebound and gives you more adjustment on your preload , the more you tighten down your preload the less effective your rebound settings are so a thicker fluid lets your rebound work even with a tight preload setting ..

another little trick is to adjust your air gap , it gives you the same effect as changing your spring rate with out needing to revalve your forks , air compresses oil doesnt so making the air gap a little smaller is like getting a stiffer spring and making the air gap bigger is like having a softer spring ..

after market springs usually completely negate your rebound settings unless you revalve so a slight air gap adjustment gives you the same effect as a rate change but doesnt adversely effect your rebound..
