As Patashu says, don't worry about 2. If you can forge on the way up, then you've probably killed Morgoth already, so there is actually nothing to gain. I did it just to see what I could eek out of the system. Infact given that the ladder favours lower turn counts, smithing actually pushes you further down the ladder, so there is no advantage over other players either.
In terms of 1, how much of a problem is it? The long forging times already restrict how many forges you can use. Personally I drop as quickly as I can to give me the most time I can get to forge with. I haven't read every dump on the ladder, but I don't think I have seen any other characters who forge so prolifically. I wouldn't balance the game around my characters.
