if you use 440 Ry (4*wave-function cutoff, not "work function") as cutoff for charges, you have a single FFT grid. If you use 450 Ry, you have two FFT grids and additional computations. I do not see any advantage in using for the charge a slightly larger cutoff than the default (4*Ecut wfc).

"Error in routine checkallsym (1): some of the original symmetry operations not 
satisfied"

if you set constraints on atomic positions, you have to ensure that they do not break the symmetry. Your constraints do. Presumably you should replace "0 0 0" below with "1 1 0", that is: keep z coordinate fixed, leave x and y free
