The included kickstand seems like the bulkiest most over-engineered
piece of nonsense that I've seen.

Did you leave it? Or did you replace it? I find that the back of my
foot hits it every once in awhile. Which is annoying.

I didn't get one on my Sprint. My wife has a Runabout Easy-Step with
the included kickstand and has no problems with it.

I wanted to get one of those Pletscher 2-leg kickstand, but the
Dynamic frames don't have a spot for it. So still don't have one,
but would like to try one out.

Got one.  Good for being out of the way, not so good for length.  On most bikes the rear wheel hub is in line with the chainstay, but on the Tempo (and I'm guessing other Dynamics) it's about three inches lower.  This makes stock kickstands too short, so the bike leans 'WAY over.
