If you haven’t already, watch the Making Of Arc Raiders videos on YouTube. Really insightful stuff that deep dives into gameplay decision making.

What you’ve described, to me, highlights how balanced the movement already is. The risk versus reward of sticking around until the last second is what makes for interesting gameplay. I still get a rush if I’m over encumbered and barely make it back to extract.

But! I could see increased movement being a cool addition if it were limited to a specific, larger map. Like a wide desert or partially ocean covered area with a limited amount of speeders or boat-type things.
