I suspect it will be difficult/impossible to collect data that will allow for the testing of the hypothesis that striping improves safety, to a statistically significant degree. In the absence of real data, typically you would want to go with the opinion of an expert. His opinion was not to stripe. South of 466A, there are some blind curves with embedded reflectors in the middle of the MMP. They serve double duty as they "thump" if you go over them with your tires. These seem like a good idea.
