May I assume that there is a corollary to the observations below:  The
more a boat approximates a cylinder, the more difficult it is to keep
upright?

That assumes that upright refers to the horizon and not the water surface.
When the water surface is significantly "tilted" the easier the "tippy" boat
is to keep upright, relative to the horizon.
