You are seriously concerned about the viscosity at -22F? I'm not- I won't go outside at anywhere near that temp. BTW high viscosity/density will not hurt a centrifugal pump, or anything else you have mentioned. I have no idea why you think it would.
The best way to measure coolant mix is to flush coolant until there is only water left in the block. Then add coolant (about a gallon) required to make a 50% mixture when filled. Top off with distilled water and you have a 50/50 mixture- no guessing at all. Running for 5 minutes will allow the coolant and water to mix well in the block and the radiator.
If you flush old coolant on a regular basis, just use extended life antifreeze sold by Prestone, Havoline, etc. You don't need pH buffers if the coolant in your system less than two years old. If you don't flush coolant regularly, it can decompose to glycol acids and cause problems.
