This is where using the M/S mode on the shifter comes into play. I find M/S is a lot more eager to put the transmission in the right gear for the situation, and often times it will downshift immediately upon entering M/S mode. This will lower the chances of you being the wrong gear when you want to stomp on the gas.
I know this is an automatic transmission, but I encourage you treat it more like a manual in these situations. If you want good throttle response when you stomp on the gas you gotta be in the right gear; this is really the crux of the issue. I'm not at all defending the software, just showing how I work around it.
As for sport+, I never use it so can't speak to its effectiveness here. I would rather shift on my own then put up with the obnoxious tendencies of sport+ mode personally.
