I'd be very interested in hearing anything about deleterious effects of
holding any LiFePO4 variant at less than 100% charged.

LiFePO4 seems overall to be very underdocumented so far. eg you can
(apparently) "safely" charge them in some very extreme ways which would
make eg LiIon fail interestingly. And this seems to be known by Chinese
manufacturers of small eg AA LiFePO4 cells. But information thereon is
minimal.
