If your minimum thrust is > 1g then you can't hover and so have to use a suicide burn. Manned rocket launches have a sustained 3g force. Rollercoasters commonly hit 5g.
There is some room in suicide burns between what humans find easy to handle and what is possible to make the rocket work. But you do have to think about this.
