Perhaps the reason a Peat person needs to keep PUFA so low is simply because they eat so much fructose and simple sugars? That makes sense since PUFA is most reactive to that producing the AGEs and other damage. However, I'm low carb...so I would suspect my tolerance for PUFA is quit a bit better than yours. And I would suppose someone who gets their carbs from startch (more glucose less fructose) would also be better off.
It's impossible to entirely cut out pufa, it has at least trace amounts in everything. Keeping it to a minimum is only beneficial, establishing an arbitrary upper limit is futile. Obviously the more you consume, the more prevalent the effects will be and the harder it will be for your body to detoxify and replace it with healthier fats.
When pufas are kept to a minimum, your body synthesizes mead acid, a stable fatty acid that displaces pufa in tissues and suppresses leukotrienes.
It's the opposite, if anything someone following a Peat protocol entirely will be better able to handle the negative effects of pufa. Things like supplemental aspirin(helps against the hormone products following oxidation) and an ideal calcium to phosphorus ratio.
