Since one of the major reasons for the rolling takeoff is to reduce the probability of FOD ingestion at high N1 and low airspeed (~<30 kt), I would think it even more important at high TOGW, with the higher N1 and slower airplane acceleration.

Indeed, the 747 body gear centering has little or no bearing on the subject, since the airplane has to be aligned on the runway regardless of other takeoff technique. In general, throttles are not brought above 40% N1 (normal max thrust for taxi) until hands are off the tillers.
