We also have a Wake/Surf Boat -- and like you --we do try our best to avoid anything over no wake in residential sloughs and near docks.
We have been the victims of rough wakes from all kinds of boats as our house is on the edge of a slough where everyone --living further back in the slough-- starts motoring faster as the lake opens up a little. It's just part of the “lake living” life I guess -- but it can be aggravating. As you point out, going a minimum speed is really worse than getting up on a plane when it comes to the physics of making waves.
My pet peeve are those who don't seem to really know what NO WAKE means -- at places like Chucks and The Landing when you are trying to park an inboard with some idiot motoring in thinking he is NO WAKE -- when clearly, he is not -- is beyond comprehension. We are from Florida where there are many no wake zones on the St Johns --and some areas of river fed lakes --due to Manatees. You will find out real quick what no wake means when you get a 1K ticket for speeding through those zones. No wake means what it says - absolutely no wake. Or folks who use their parking lights for navigating the lake at night and blinding everyone around them. But I digress.
Sigh.
