Yes, less stuffing is definitely better.
My technique is to sew all of the rows together before stuffing. Then I cut a small slit on the back side of each one and stuff each of them. Then I take a few hand stitches in each one. It might be more time consuming, but for me it beats wrestling with those stuffed rows. The only difficult part is sewing the back piece of the pillow onto the completed biscuit side.
When I say pillow form, I mean a pre-stuffed pillow. With an opening in the back of my biscuit pillow, I can remove the inner pillow and wash each separately or replace if necessary in the future. I usually make those inner pillows myself, but have found some pre-made ones at estate sales of crafters.
