B&W crossover a 6 inch woofer at 4 KHz (big mid range hole) and tend to boost their bass response too
B&w are using true phase cohesive first order filters so the discontinuity in off axis response is not as sharp as you think it is.
Anyway nobody should be listening in an untreated room so the importance of off axis response depends on your room acoustics.
If you move up to 3way in an attempt to even the polar response you now have further problems with trying to merge three drivers to make them sound coherent. You will need a bigger cabinet too.
As for boosting the bass, that's dependent on room and positioning too. There is no correct answer to how much boost there should be. You don't want the speaker to sound too thin or too warm or bassy. The response shown on the graph depends on how the measurement was taken
