Not at all, I am a big fan of research. And I
have sunk targets with 90AOB magnetics, but the failure rate has been (in my experience) unacceptably high. But given your results, I will try more often and report back.

Whether your shots are impact or magnetic need not be more than a function of depth setting. All "magnetics" are actually "impact/magnetics" ... a "magnetic" hitting a hull at 90AOB will act as an impact, and one passing under the hull will (try to) act like a magnetic.
So, in fact, there is never any need to switch from "M" to "I," unless you want a safety factor in really rough weather AND know you want an impact shot.
(And, BTW, I know jussssst enough to get myself in trouble out there.)
