5000 seems excessively high and may lead to distorted structures or
simulation instability. I'd try to keep restraint force below 10 or so...

I am not sure I understand what you're asking here. If you are concerned
about using 'nmropt' flag, you don't need to be - the name of the flag
doesn't mean you have to use nmr refined structures (it just indicates
that, historically, that's how it was used most often).

I never used MOIL and thus cannot comment on its usage...
