I'm applying for a 6-month UK tourist/visit visa as a US permanent resident. Im wondering if 2 months of bank statements—Jan and Feb, both ending within 31 days of my application date, and both showing consistent salary deposits as well as savings withdrawals—are enough to satisfy the proof of fund?

I hesitate to show 3 months or more because my bank statements in October, November and December involve lots of irregular transfers that are all reasonable (big payments for new and existing apartment, then big insurance deposit after new apartment's water damage, and then payment for another new apartment as well as moving there, then transfer of payments from and to roommates since we're all moving together, and lastly deposit returns from the two previous apartments...).

Im afraid if I include bank statements from Dec and Nov and/or older, they'd look suspicious as if i was fund parking or living an unstable lifestyle, and i really have no idea how to compile all these evidence for deposits and insurance and transfers for the application upload... My Jan and Feb statements however look very stable.

Should I add 3-6 months of payslips as well?

You don't have the luxury of choice. If the application asks for 6 months, you have to provide six months. If you give for only two months, you will be denied a visa and will consider future applications as suspicious as in their eyes, you tried to deceive them.

In your case, you have to submit the bank statements truly and fully. In addition to the bank statements, you have to submit a cover letter explaining the funds and possibly a proof (like receipts and all) that shows these come from legit transactions.

Note that the immigration officials may have seen hundreds of applications similar to yours and its not suspicious, unless you make it one.
