Does anyone have experience with the z-packs stick on loop cuben patches (http://zpacks.com/accessories/tape.shtml)? Would the heavy duty version be ok for additional perimeter tie outs on a tarp or are they really only ok for hanging bug nets and the like?
Really only strong enough for hanging net tents and mid-panel guy outs.

I have used them for added tie outs for my tarp with good success.
Although I would not use them as main guyout points. Just to pull up a side or add light tension above my feet etc.
Is it worth trying to sew a line across the patch after bonding?
"Is it worth trying to sew a line across the patch after bonding?"
No.
The bonding strength exceeds the strength of the existing stitch holding the grosgrain loop to the patch. By default.
You don't have to trust me – just call Joe @ Zpacks.
Adding another stitch can not improve the patch strength-wise.
However, depending on the topology and the quality of your sewing, adding a stitch may actually weaken the whole thing.
