Of course you want to...

Now, lets refocus one of your questions with new context. "I am concervative about rolling on the throttle too hard mid corner." Yea... you should be, it's a clue that something else can be improved upon. Turn in point, braking, line or entry speed. Your #1 goal while riding, especially with bigger lean angles is to "keep the bike stable" and the throttle is the main method of establishing that stability. Too little is not good, too much is not good either.

So instead of pushing your limits with traction, have a good look at your actions before the turn. Once you are sure about those, then look at the exit.

At what part of the turn can be the throttle be rolled more aggressively, while AT THE SAME TIME reduce your risk of washing out the rear?
