I have exactly the same criteria as you about the open diff, based on the fact that the mod is inspired by a real serie.
I think that the problem, not always, but perhaps most of the time, is found by people who are still running lfs with keyboard or mouse and that is something that takes a lot away from the experience and also makes those who mode using those controls not feel certain wrong settings in their mods, like the caster, just to name one.
