I've got standard injectors, and the usual intake and and exhaust modifications so I know that increasing the fuel pressure would be overkill in my case if I'm pursuing hp although I'm not thinking of it increasing it to even 4 bar - is it viable or am I barking up the wrong tree?

a std ecu is in closed loop control at most times except for certain conditions decided by the ecu designer ,
std vts ecu is in closed loop at everything but fullthrottle up to around 4k ,after that it is open loop from around 70% --these are not exact figures -but your worry about raising fuel pressure and mot is unfounded ,the std ecu is adpative and will correct quite happily when using a 4.5 bar reg ,but yes it will make it richer on WOT.
I,m not sure what you are trying to achieve ,but if by effiency you mean economy ,then there is a lot more to it than making car run lean .
a stand alone ecu with full w/band will allow yopu to decide where it is controlled and allow you to decide at what lambda level you run at at any given throttle /load setting .
economy + emission are not the same lambda level for cruise --
