Low-flow toilets should be negligible to showers dishwashers and washing machines I would think.

There are different brands of TP.
-Some are like cloth and will clog anything quick.
-Some dissolve easily and are made for RVs and are rated "septic-field friendly".

My ex used quite a bit, and the house once got a clog/backup as well, perhaps as a result. Whatever.

I still suspect the issue is still downhill though.
As a safety measure you probably can install a 1-way backflow prevention check valve at the exit of your unit.
