I’m sure you are right. Even if there is wear, other parts of the gearbox will wear faster, so it’s unlikely to be a failure mode.
I do wonder why, when Porsche was cutting corners left, right and centre in the early seventies and had just redesigned the shift tower for 1973, that they went through the expense of keeping the gate tabs and the corresponding tab on the gear lever, and indeed kept them all the way to 1989 I think. There has to be a reason. It could just be a NVH issue. The tensioned gear lever would vibrate more without a hard point to rest on that the tabs provide.
