"Does the lower profile offer any advantage?"
If you can reduce your exposed area, you will gain advantage. Wind at ground-level is less than wind 5 feet above. Wind at altitude is fierce everywhere.
A tepee requires a tall pole to provide usable volume, so unless you're capping a snow pit with a 'mid top you'll have more exposure. Walls would help.
I had a sectional, 6' tall, 1.5" diameter aluminum (6061T6) pole fold due to wind while in an 'mid above treeline.
I favor low profile.
