I think we can agree a catch can is a good idea. In this case, that can is designed like a fixed orifice valve. It is well engineered internally.

Regarding the IAC step adjustment, it was minor. On installation, hot idle went to 1-2 steps, I adjusted back to 5-7. I probably could have left it alone.

Do I think I’ll have any excess crankcase pressure? Nope.
Is it overkill? Ubetcha.
I agree a catch can or an air/oil separator is a good idea. Especially if the OEM system has a bad habit of pulling in oil. No one really wants oil mixed in with the combustion process, not a good idea.

I just generally lean towards a small air/oil separator because they are small and easier to conceal, and allows me to keep the PCV setup in place for a factory appearance. But I do see a lot of hot N/A street cars that are more setup for race than street with roll cages, gutted interior and big stroker engines that do have pretty elaborate crank case vent setups. In that case I wouldn't be too concerned about hiding anything, lol.
