What makes me more inclined to suicide is that this might have been the perfect time to do this so that even a small interruption in fuel would be catastrophic.

If this is the case, you have to then think about why this pilot would want suicide but also murder all aboard the plane. It's a bit irrational if they wanted to just suicide - you can easily just cut your own throat, hang yourself, or jump off a tall building.
It's a mistake to try to rationalize suicide. People frequently make irrational decisions.
There are already 5 other cases of pilot suicide with a full plane.
People do irrational things, especially if they are mentally unwell - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanwings_Flight_9525
Look at financial motive. Some insurance payout stipulation or pension obligation to his family may have been boosted by death on the job.
