I guess I don't think there's a "sufficient" level of humility, and I
don't think anyone is "groveling" when they pray that prayer.

Seems to me, coming at that point in the liturgy, the Agnus Dei is sufficiently humble without all of the groveling suggested by the PHA.  If I'm presiding at a Rite I service, we never use that prayer.
