I know 6 inch intercoolers are usually recommended for those mods but due to the lack of track work and nature of driving will a stepped 5 inch intercooler be suitable? Don't really want to go bigger and introduce unnecessary lag if I can avoid it.

the 5" upgrade will be a major improvement over stock, so if you are asking if you can run it with your mods the answer is yes you can.
It will not perform as well as the the 6" even for short street pulls, all it takes is one pull for the temps to go up.
If your car is FBO you will not notice any lag with the 6" intercooler.
