Likewise, on the rebound stroke, less inertia would need more damping to regulate the stroke.

You've got that the wrong way round, and Skidlids is right there. Less inertia produces less deflection over bumps, therefore you need less damping on both compression and damping, i.e. softer suspension as expressed in terms of damping.
Keep in mind, that this is pretty much a theoretical point because suspension setting are influenced by many factor. That's why most suspension related adivce is preceeded with the word "generally".
Just go ride the thing and adjust one thing at a time based on your feedback. Start with the current setting. The worst thing to do, most likely, would be to change a bunch of settings based on theoretical physics.
