The system is what it is.

254 probably has more data than I do because they run closer to the edge, but I can tell you that in a season like 2014, when we DIDN'T have a short in our wiring, 125 rarely went below 6V despite some very aggressive gearing in both our drivetrain and our launching system. The only times (I recall) we had serious current draw* issues were when a vastly over-inflated ball jammed in our intake, the choo-choo was loading, and we were driving aggressively.
That being said, wasn't it you who coined the term "drivetrain wars" all those years back when we first started getting CIMs? I just view this as a good way to end those. EDIT: My memory DIDN'T fail me.

* This ignores that we spent the first half of the season with a short that was causing us to die on the field regularly.
