In both those photos, why can't you just bug up to .78 or higher? We run our 321s frequently in smaller margins than that but I find having selected .79 or .80 to be the best way to not worry about it. I would probably not let the plane ride at that low of an airspeed.
These were from early on, as the aircraft was just beginning to reveal it's behavioral idiosyncrasies! As mentioned lower altitudes and hard-selecting a slightly higher speed were the temporary fixes, followed by the permanent fix of bumping up the CI a bit.
