So, higher voltage setting is probably easier on the horizontal output tube, but harder on the flyback.

My opinion is to follow the specified setting, unless you are willing to gamble.
My concern exactly. Thanks for the detail on that. It's the higher voltages, closer to the failure point of the insulation of the windings, that causes the arc-over and burnout of the FBT.
