For alpine road riding does fitting a dinner plate 32t cassette make any practical difference over a 28t.

28t will be fine, I usually go 32/34 on a loaded touring bike.

I suspect so. I'm kinda of the thinking that if you can't get up it on 34/28 you aren't going to do it on 34/32 either, and walking would be quicker.

There's a significantly noticeable difference between 32 and 28, however you make do with what you have, the girlfriend rode up a 7% average 15km climb on a 36/25 before and managed just fine.
