You have a low bar rack position, which is why you tend to tilt forward a bit. As the bar position is lower on your back, you CAN go forward more and use your posterior chain better. Your squat form, emphasizes the glutes and lower back more than it does on the quads. It also enables you to use more weight, compared to a high bar back squat.
Now, should you use it? Yes. The only issue with your form, that I think you can fix is your inability to time your upward drive. You drive, but you cut your drive short, midway and then strain it up again. How do you fix that? Experience.
Now I'm also going to say something against the grain. Tilt your chest DOWN and tilt your HEAD DOWN. To understand why I said that, first stand in a 1/4 squat position with your chest and head up. Now JUMP! Ok? Now tilt your head and chest down. Now jump. Which one gives you more power? But keep your back taut and straight.
And when you have a low bar position, and you still tilt your head up, you tend to have problems putting the bar in the correct position.
