michaelbardaniel, You are concerned about baal tosif and say that the 613 are enough..
.I suppose you haven’t heard of ??? ??? ??? ???? ????? ?? (Yevomos 20a), to take on chumros on things which are muttar is actually a good thing,
It is discussed in Sefer Mesilas Yesorim (worth learning):
“???? ??? ??????? ??? ?? ????? ?????? ?????, “??? ???? ????? ??” ???? ??? ?????? ?? ????? ????, ??????, ???? ???? ????? ???? ?????? ???? ?? ????, ?????? ????? ?? ???? ??? ????, ?????? ??? ???? ???? ?????? ????, ??????? ??? ??? ????? ?????? ???? ???? ??, ?? ?? ?? ?????? ???? ???? ??, ??? ??? ?????? ?? ??? ???? ?????? ????”.
“perishus” means to take upon oneself as prohibited something which is permitted. (-as a “chumra” )
See also Ramban beginning of Parshas Kedoshim that explains the beauty and necessity for taking on chumros.
So don’t worry about Baal Tosif, it’s ok and even recommended to add chumros (yes, above and beyond the 613).
