The are not partials if the range of motion is partially duplicative.

Pause squats are the alternative. I’m looking for a light day substitute and am concluding that actually moving through that lower part of range of motion with these things to improve that part of the range because of some peculiarities of my problems is worth a try. My deadlift is relatively heavier than my squat, and actually moving through the range of motion I want to stabilize seems better than a hold for now. I’m optimistic that pause squats will be more useful still after I dial in the low end of the movement pattern over the next several weeks.
I’ll try to report back. Though it is not written . . . .
