There's a big difference between going north and going south in terms of game integrity. Short stacks in ring games have a structural advantage even at equilibrium. If you haven't studied the dynamics of how that works then you're going to have to trust me on that, but it's a fundamental property of ring poker.

Going north between hands is -EV at equilibrium and can only be +EV if you have a significant edge. There's an important distinction to be made between actions that give you a fundamental advantage and actions that give you a fundamental disadvantage that can only turn into an advantage by playing well.

In PLO in general is there ever any merit to only calling and playing a microscopic SPR (< ~0.1) on the next street? If so, when is it viable?

It's kind of hard to conceptualize the pros and cons since the vast majority of the time the money's going in with little to no folding range for either player on any runout.
