Is a stationary, forced regen any different than an on-road regeneration?

Only necessary when the active regens don't complete and the DPF soot reaches a critical level. The $50.00 AlphaOBD can also do forced regens for anyone in need.

THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH REGENERATION is it dumps a lot of fuel in the engine and contaminates the oil and creates wear

Well if the truck doesn't regen, it will reach 100% soot level and go into limp mode. The only option at that point is a forced regen. There are no other circumstances I'm aware of that would benefit from a forced regen.

That owner needs to plan on some extra driving to get the regen completed on a regular basis...

Force Regen is equal to Active Regen, This process is done when conditions merit during Driving

Stationary de-soot , is just that, its more aggressive, It may take 2-3 Times to clean soot, Ash will accumulate over time.

I have been Stationary de-sooting vehicles for 12 years. IMO 2-3 Times yearly Stationary de-sooting will aid in less ash accumulation.

Also de-sooting helps (clean) turbo mechanism moving freely. In Ram Dsl engines, the D-max has DPF Injector downstream of turbo.

Yes I recommended doing de-sooting just prior to changing oil..
