11pm-midnight is the worst time for arrival at LIM, if you are unlucky you could be stuck in line at immigration for a long time. I wouldn't recommend taking the risk of missing your flight.
I agree. I find the time window risky. I read they working on better/faster immigration process, basically increasing people, but there are several risks. If you have to claim baggage, there are delay risks at that hour, maybe the plane has to wait for a gate, long lines at United counter (flights to Houston and Newark are at similar hours), etc.

I don't see a good chance to check your baggage for all flights. United and Lan are not even associated.
