Doesn't this mean that there are two chances for low to come (and you only need one low!) and two chances to beat the high pair? So my conclusion would be just the opposite of what you say - A2(3) and suits go considerably up in value. AK23ds should be at a huge advantage vs say AAHH.
No. You only qualify for low by board. So take two hands:
AKK54
v
AT432
If the boards are:
J7686
And
KT737
AKK54 wins high on both boards. AT432 gets quartered.
It’s hard for AT432 to scoop AKK54 since it has to make high on two boards. On the high side only, AT432 has around 36% equity, and the times it wins the high on one board hurts its chance of winning high on the second.
