I installed a 5/8 MC and haven't noticed what you guys are talking about, so it must be a negligible change in force. Hell, I even have shorty levers and only use two fingers for braking AND stoppies. Maybe you pansies just need stronger fingers and better bleeding skills. My brakes don't go to ***** until my pads need to be replaced, and even then I can still pump the brakes up to get feel again.

My recommendations for your 05+ S3 issue is doing the caliper rebuild as mentioned on t595 and here, and start stocking the 5/8 nissin master cylinders and double H brake pads for customers to buy when they want a little extra umph. With those changes, the brakes should stop like a SOB and stoppie on demand.
