Possible understeer is one thing, and messing up the DSC system is another.
Sounds like the differential is set up rather similar to the Z3 M-Coupe, which was a really well handling car.

In the older days, all the clutch pack LSDs from BMW used to have 25/25, and that was also working rather well. I would not worry about 30/9 not being enough.

The reason for less lockup during deceleration is to reduce understeer and avoid stepping sideways when going off the throttle in a corner. This can be difficult to handle for most drivers, as you need to go back on the throttle to catch it. Not very intuitive if you haven't done it a lot of times before.
