Is this too much tire hit?

I've never run that tire but it looks to me like you might want to try a few more pounds of air. I wouldn’t soften the hit but I would experiment with pressure. That tire is a little too wrinkled IMHO.
I will 2nd, that. MORE air, Please! 16 to 18 maybe, or as much as the track surface will allow.
Does look like a nice launch but, I suspect it could get better.
