I guess with Cup games roster management gets a bit tricky or am I worrying about it too much?

I understand the 48 minute rule but the secret I guess is to manage playing time so players do not get too much over that when you have three important games?

The number you want to keep players under is 80-90 minutes or so.

Shoot to get them between 48-80 a week.

Thank you.

Meaning of course if you want to win every game some roster adjustments (mixing in starters with backups) has to occur right?

More or less.

Higher division teams can get away with weaker Cup lineups, but it takes some juggling.

For game shape you probably want to target 40 to 90 minutes. BB-Forest at one time indicated that the drop off wasn't that severe just outside. You might have to accept not getting as much training as normal, or maybe training stamina or FT.

If I had a starter at 70 minutes, I'd probably let him start if I wanted to win the cup game. You're unlucky to draw another D.III team. There are lots of bots in D.V and if you win your first game, your game next week might be one that you can use some trainees mixed with better players.
