Yes, I agree. The small OOF area closest to the cam doesn't seem to
detract.
Most times when I find a largish dof is required, yet am worried about
diffraction softening, the smaller apertures with aperture
bracketing almost always are better. Seems the blurring from lack of
dof is more pronounced than diffraction at least wehn avoidng the
extreme small apertures. I think Moose has commented on this in the
past as well.
One can always focus stack, but it is more work. Curiously have seen a
bunch of images focus stacked for 2-3X macro with flash yet
claimed to be hand held. Seems difficult to me. Rather the opposite
of using the gizmo below for auto stacking:

Looks like a cool gizmo anyway. RRS has some manual gear driven
flavors too.
I always found this comparison of stacking software interesting, though
it is a bit long in the tooth now.

Ouch, just looked at the price for the stack shot macro rail package,
