My biggest problems are that I'm old, tall, major clyde, top-heavy, and not that flexible. If I ever lose the clyde and gain the proper flexibility I will definitely need/use a longer stem.

Being top-heavy is all the more reason not to move the saddle too far forward. Skinny pro racers can get away with it because of their chicken-wing arms. Triathletes can get away with it because they ride with their elbows on the table. But normal guys like us have to sit on a bike like we're sitting on a barstool, leaning forward over the bar to reach for a cold one.
