It’s not a chumra; it’s a sensitivity, and if one refuses to eat the korban pesach he will have a problem (unless as suggested earlier in this thread, korbanos will be batel). I am granting that there is no issur of tzar baalei chaim with stam shechting, however as per the Rambam that just means that the Torah permitted us to relinquish certain quantities of rachmanus when it serves a purpose. I don’t see how that could make it wrong for someone to choose to still excersize that rachmanus. Much like in my example of a lost object.
