In my experience you can still usually get 600-800 fpm out of the plane at those altitudes and weights with a high ISA if you keep your speed up. Your technique sounds like a good one.

Yeah, the book says not to exceed 15 degrees of bank at those altitudes and weights regardless of speed - So for me the biggest concern would be someone not knowing that, having the AP on in LNAV, and then comming to a big turn in their flightplan... Or getting a turn for spacing or something and not doing it in low bank.
