If you move your saddle back you decrease the hip closure angle - this was causing me numbness, and increasing it allows for less interruption of blood flow in the arteries of the leg. It definitely hasn't caused a loss of power, on the flat or climbing (I started with a traditional setup and moved to this gradually.)

Not sure then why you care at all about being as aero as possible then? If you moved your saddle back, you could run a normal length stem and fit on a whole load more frames.
Have you done any aero testing to compare with power meter readings to say that your position is actually even aero whilst also your most powerful?
I’d start with a bike fitter
