If I have my choice, I would usually prefer to throw from in front rather than behind in most cases I've encountered, especially since your arm movement might be constrained.

(added red above to reply to those points).
My concern is this: it seems that what you say is the common interpretation of 803.04.E results in different players playing
different lies, by rule - not by choice, following the
exact same shot depending on the physical attributes of the players.
In my opinion it would be a more fair rule applied equally to everybody if the essence of the rule was: if your marker is within 30cm of a solid obstacle on the line of play you may optionally play from immediately behind the solid obstacle.
