...' too much damping - takes the life away'...
No. It doesn't work that way. You aren't making guitar cabinets here. ANY sound added by the enclosure is WRONG. Its called HiFi for a reason. To have real hifi, you want only the information thats in the source. Whether you like the sound or not, anything added by the reproduction chain is a departure from high fidelity. Its a fact, and always has been.

You may have your beliefs, and I may have mine.
I did the damping incrementally BY EAR, and how it sounds to me is ALL that matters, versus theoretical approaches.
Damping applies not only to speakers, but to EVERY component in the audio chain. For example, my crossovers sound best to me at 12.5 to 14 pounds. My amp sounds best with SIX building bricks on it.
Too much damping KILLS the sound. There is a sweet spot, on all equipment. Determined by EAR.
Maybe it had to do simultaneously with mass loading and damping, but who cares WHY, all I care about is what sounds best !!!!!!
Have fun, I am.

Typical dumbing down of HiFi that seems so popular these days in many circles. It should be a quest to eliminate all distortions, whatever the source. You may like it, but dont confuse it with real hi fidelity.
