=== True or False
I think true as for example in an aerobatic aircraft you don't want to over stress the pilot so the sf/g would be less but the max stick force would be the same
As with so many design questions, the real answer is "it depends". Stick force/'g' is dependent on more than just the minimum stick force at limit load. IF your critical design condition is the limit load condition, then increase in the limit load will allow some alleviation. But if other considerations - say pitch feel characteristics - dominate, then the limit load factor is irrelevant.
