I was thinking more like aiming for the 100D limit of the jump port.
That would likely be based on a 10-100 km iceball outside the system's
1000D limit, and so still gets the benefit of the easier 100D jump
exit while arriving less than an hour from the port.

That's the case in almost all existing Traveller material: an arriving
fleet generally has empty tanks and can't jump out until it refuels.
It would be possible to leave a jump-1 in the tanks at the cost of
reduced strategic mobility, but this isn't done in any published
material I have read.
