Many thanks. Understand your points and aware of the rule of thumb but it's hard to completely ignore the recommendations of the designer.
Lyra's J. Carr seems to have a different view of cartridge loading than many others as he prefers higher resistance loading all other things being equal. He's focusing on potential overload distortion of the phono stage well above the 20kHz region as you can see in this link:

This cartridge is still breaking in so the sound is changing, but I'm preferring ~200 ohm loading so far. I think Carr would argue for a resistance more than twice that (I forgot I have the Xono schematics so know the input capacitance).
In the end, I'll go with what sounds best. This Etna cartridge is really phenomenal, but it's a bit of a cameleon between break-in and different loadings. Like you said don't worry about it....
