IMO, there's no benefit from from putting the outside foot down instead of level or hanging out a knee for either clearance or dynamics (or specious CG rationales). I used to race motorcycles, which of course had no option of putting the pegs anywhere than where they were, and where hanging out knee could be of value.
I don't share your opinion, and apparently most or all of the pros do not either.
