I don't remember that bushing being removed in ft86sf's install video of the IRP, but it was hard to tell.

That's the line of reasoning, yup. Far as I can tell, it's sound reasoning as well so... Technically the IRP isn't the problem... it's the dual duty part it has you remove.
FWIW once you remove the shift lever retainer, you're removing the part that actually connects the transmission to the mount. I don't think it matters if you remove everything or not and that may not be specifically covered in the install video.
I'd have to dig in a bit to sort out whether the shift lever retainer could be swapped for an alternative piece that still handles the 'transmission mount' duties, but not the shift lever mount duties. Since it's only metal, it might actually be legal (and relatively simple) to replace (no metal content issues to worry about). Might help with some of the floppiness I've observed in videos of the IRP.
