I spent a lot of time looking at the "Maximum Point Blank Range" idea.
In the end, I concluded that it makes sense if the ONLY shooting one does is at medium game or paper.
Th high trajectory -- 5 to 6 inches above the line of of sight for intermediate ranges -- adds a lot of detail to be remembered when practicing, plinking or casual shooting at those distances. The 1.5" high zero at 100 yards means that I can hold centre of mass for most varmints or casual targets to a tad past yards. Raising the crosshairs then works out to about 300 yards.
Going further than 300 yards moves one into choosing one of the various options for getting the right point of impact.
