"The question I should have asked is that if the idle mixture is lean, is it as bad as if the main jet is lean?"

In my mind, yes. Because of the stall issue at low RPM. Doing the bridge dance on the ICW with several other boats is exciting enough without adding the potential stall.
Have you tried PB blaster or some other product to free up the idle mixture adjustment?
Not a fix but you can use the choke to help control air flow. Partially blocked fuel ports, unregulated air from PCV or a air leak all lead to a lean mixture.
I see a carb cleaning in the future.
