A stove run 800 all the time is not going to last long.
A test for negative pressure is to open a window close to the stove. An inch is fine.

Yes, the liner needs to be pulled in order to be properly wrapped in an insulation blanket. Note that unless the exterior chimney has 1" or greater clearance from any combustible all the way up, code requires the liner to be insulated. This together with the an extension could solve the problem if it's only under some conditions that the draft stalls.
If you are looking at burning low and slow, a hybrid stove may not be the best choice. A Blaze King insert is a pure catalytic design which can be run like that. There is still the same caveat of having specific minimum draft requirements for the cooler flue gases that occur when burning like that. Otherwise there is a chance of backdraft when the chimney is cold.
