Just did a quick check on Assetto Corsa PS4 Ultimate Edition. Stick shift works for 86 and AE86 but not Ferrari 488 GTB or Toyota TS040. One would expect the better sims to stick to the real thing...

Aren't you supposed to be able to do explicit override with the paddle shifters? I believe the owner's manual refers to this as Temporary Manual Mode.

Rev hang works only during upshift. For downshift, engine rpm needs to be higher than before. You won't get away with not rev matching. As for my dad, the guy doesn't have a clue what rev match is....
