The rate of return determines the rate the water flows over the weir.
There’s quite a few folks that plump canisters to their sump intake/return holes.
The intake drain standpipe height will determine the water level behind the weir. Providing you have your water levels set appropriately, achieved by filling the main tank w all pumps off, let it overflow into sump to 2” from top of sump, then turn faucet off. This will prevent your sump overflowing as water drains during a power outage. Once set, turn pumps on and the sump will drain some as the main tank fills. Once water is recirculating, you can draw a fill line in your sump. This line is where you can safely fill to if you leave the pumps running
