Something to think about when you have too much flow and directing flow back into the sump, most pumps performance curves show that energy consumption is tied to flowrate and not head pressure. So, directing flow back into the sump instead of throttling them back is going to cost you more per month in electricity than simply throttling the output down with a valve (all you're doing is adding to the head pressure).
