I know that the reverse is hydraulic while all the others are controlled by vacuum. Should I add above this dipstick max line and see what happens or try trans-x before adjusting the reverse band?

The Tansmission is supposed to work best with the Fluid leval within normal limits. Also as long as there is the correct amount of Fluid there is a pump that is supposed to supply the pressure.
Also note that all of the Bands use Hydraulic Pistons to operate them. The Vacuum works on the Transmission Modulator and the Modulator adjust the Hydraulics.
There is the basic Hydraulic Pressure that the Pump puts out and then there is the Transmission Modulator adjusted Pressure that the Modulator controls.
I don't think the Trans-X would hurt anything. However, I think some addatives are somewhat like STP in that they make the Fluid thicker and that brings the Pump Pressur up.
They also sometimes have some chemicals that cause the Sealing material to swell and seal better.
None of the above is going to fix an out of adjustment Reverse Band or a worn out Reverse Band.
