Torsens DO slip, if they didn't they wouldn't be in OEM applications. The whole idea is that they slip and act like an open diff under low load, and progressively lock up with applied torque.

Well, we disagree. Torsen don't limit slip at all. They bias the same torque regardless. Torsen act as an open diff all the time as far as differentiation goes.
So, yes, technically Torsen "slip" but that misuses the word slip. Torsen always differentiate, they do not lock. However, if the wheel with less grip still grips then the Torsen "locks" completely, transferring all the "spare" torque. Torque transfer is immediate. They are not progressive, they bias torque at a fixed ratio all of the time.
Torsen are unaffected by different wheel sizes. Completely unaffected.
