So is the desired location of peak pressure on a rotary about 14 deg ATDC as it is in a conventional engine?

Perhaps 8 to 10 degrees or more, after TDC. Ignition advance at the RPM where the engine is used is based on developing maximum cylinder pressure at the ideal crank angle (leverage) for best HP. That angle is a function of engine design and unaffected by RPM.
