It is not overkill if the LR-H tire can be safely run at the inflation pressure appropriate to the load on the tire. If the minimum inflation pressure is higher, then you might find the ride harsher and you will likely have a smaller contact patch at the higher pressure.
I'm pretty sure it has a minimum inflation pressure, probably in the 70-80 PSI range. Steel body tires need a certain inflation level to prevent metal fatigue. Inflated to 100 PSI, it will carry same load as maximum for LR-F, inflated to 120 maximum load pressure for LR-H, it will have another 1300 pounds margin for heavier loads.
Almost any truck tire will give you a harsher ride than the XRV, which was a special "soft" tire for RV applications only. This premium truck tire will also be a lot tougher than the XRV, with respect to dealing with road hazards, because of different rubber compounds and construction features.
This is your answer..
