I would argue that the whole point of the trim requirements (and a COG more consistent with an overload fuel capacity) is to keep you from hitting anything when you fly with it.

'Nuff said.

Speed gives you the ability to enter and exit a fight at will. No other plane characteristic gives you such a tremendous advantage IMHO.

And endurance gives you the ability to fight as long as you want - or to leave the fight, reposition, or to fly around known enemy concentrations -and it gives you the ability to get the best aircraft performance for prolonged times - though in IL2 most missions are considerably shorter than real life 4-5 hour missions so endurance is as you said of limited use.

And my aiming problems have little to do with the stability of the P-51, more with usually great closure rates leading to small shot windows -and very largely to not beeing used to flying it.
