You said that its primary use is against sarin, I disagree. It's primary use is more to keep a patient in crit from dying. It tries to cap losebreath at a low amount, heals a good deal of oxy damage when you have high oxy damage, and heals everything other than tox faster than omnizine if you are in more damage than shallow crit.
It does very minor tox damage if you're over -25 health. Like 1 tox damage per tick. it'll take you a few minutes to get pulled into crit from it. You can simply buy a charcoal pill from a medical vendomat if you don't want to go to medbay, those rarely run out. Taking Epinephrine once atropine puts you into crit or after it wears off and you're in crit is will also take you out of crit.
In regards to Medical Doctor grief using atropine, I can't say I've ever seen that happen. Doctors will use it as a weapon, but I rarely see non-traitor doctors stabbing people with atropine when they pass them in the hall.
I think atropine is fine the way it is right now. It's one of the few medical drugs that has nuance to it because it takes a little bit of know how to tell when you need it and when you don't. Though, I will say, it could cut down on the misstep chance after it wears off. You'll still be stumbling around a few minutes after it is out of your system which can be frustrating. Should stop at a minute or two tops.
