you can drive slower

Please don't drive slower than the speed limit. That can be dangerous too.

not much slower; somewhat slower is completely fine

Not just completely fine. Slower is safer as long as it’s not so slow that you’re creating a hazard.

Not really. The more important part is staying with the flow of traffic. Differences of speed and congestion causes risk and dangerous situations. Driving slow(er) than everyone else without reason will cause both.

OP seems to recommend 20mph slower

In at least one thread they took the position that minus 20mph was perfectly fine
