You are correct on all counts - calm seas are actually needed more so than they are with the deck gun. At least with the deck gun, the ammo hatch can be closed in short order and you can bail. With a torpedo half into a loading hatch, just spotting a rogue wave would be cause for mild panic - warm up the pumps ! Diving away from aircraft is no longer an option either...
I limit myself to calm seas and slow speeds for loading externals. I often return to port without loading them, they are more risk than they are worth in my estimation.
