I suspect the fan is your problem limiting air flow and the motor over speed
but with the build up in the vents a system cleaning is needed or the improved flow
will quickly be moving stuff on the fan again

that would be my first step clean the fan vents and evap coils for better air flow

never suck under house air inside open the system to inside air if you must
I thought about running a filter on the intake door and looked into that last year, but then I read a bunch of stuff that said don't do that as it would add more restriction to the system. Dunno. Conflicting advice...

Question for the experts: Is there any downside or reason why I shouldn't take the return piping and make it as short and efficient as possible? There's no "design balance" between the supply and the return, right? I can take this long flex hose (24" or so wide) and reroute it to remove some of the bends and kinks, etc. Like this:
