I usually would expect too long a chain having slack in some gear combo's to be more prone to falling off the front.
Chain length will be low on my list of other things to check normally for dropped chains. I only bring it up because you said you lengthened it.
Shimano rear DR? They tell you how to size the chain in their DM's for that model DR.

The only place you could have slack is on the bottom run in the smallest cog or 2 when in the small ring if it was actually too long. As long as there is tension on the bottom run of chain in small/small it'll be the same everywhere else.
Seems we agree. I just wasn't as verbose. See our comments in red.
