I'm not sure I would. To me, a proof should be as simple as possible to
understand, because you need to be able to check the proof against the
specification. The existing proof is clear enough to allow it to be checked
against the pseudocode, and doesn't take an inordinate amount of time, so I
think it's fine to leave it as is.

So yeah, I'd say try hooking it up to main_stage and adding a test for it would
be better than trying to "optimize" the proof. Especially since there's a bug
in the module that the proof hasn't revealed (hint: it has to do with power's
numbering of bits).
