I’m much more explosive from a conventional stance but my anatomy just doesn’t allow me to get upright at the bottom without going below parallel
Yes it does, you just need to work on your mobility.
Download a mobility app (gowod, romwod, etc) and in 30 days you'll be like a different person. It takes 10 minutes a day and can be done right before bed. There's even research showing that stretching before bed increases sleep quality

It’s pretty well documented that having a long femur and short tibia causes you to be less upright during a conventional deadlift. I can get in the upright position, but like I said it causes my hips to sink down into a “arse to grass” position, which really takes away from my pulling strength.
Now when I deadlift less upright like the picture above, I can lift much more than even sumo but the issue is lower back stress.
Sumo allows me to get into an upright position, while also being much closer to parallel at the hips, which is less back stress but with almost as much strength as the less upright conventional.
I could just do conventional less upright, lift crazy weights and say effit, but I’d rather save my back
Keep in mind, I lift powerbuilding style and currently raw deadlifting 5 plates for reps
