PTX1000/10001 (Express) offers no real configurable options for load

What in particular are you missing?

As I explained, PTX/MX both allow for example speculating on transit
pseudowires having CW on them. Which is non-default and requires
'zero-control-word'. You should be looking at 'hash-key' on PTX and
'enhanced-hash-key' on MX.  You don't appear to have a single stanza
configured, but I do wonder what you wanted to configure when you
noticed the missing ability to do so.
