A320 G+B and RAT deployment

In a scenario of G+B dual hydraulic failure, assuming G system is lost due to low level and B system is lost either due to reservoir overheat or pump overheat, is deployment of RAT from HYD panel advisable? The FCOM checklist mentions " IF B SYS LOST BY ELEC PUMP LO PR: ......RAT MAN ON"....

My understanding is that the following cases will lead to B SYS LO PR
# In case of B electric pump overheat, the ECAM will instruct you to switch off B pump leading to system B system low pressure.
# B reservoir overheat also calls for B ELEC pump to be off and leads to B system low pressure.

Will following the ECAM and deploying the RAT aggravate the overheat condition?
