Except it works as the factory shifter does in 5th or R.

Yes, but only if the body flex exceeds the shift linkage play.

I haven't noticed any during driving, on the other hand I have a loud exhaust. In 3rd or 4th I would expects some rattling where there is no spring tension. A closeup with a gopro on the gate should reveal any clicking or torsion in the linkage.

The shifter "works", ther's no question about that since I've driven the car a few times with it now (Sorry, didn't make any video yet as I promised). The only question is if it will cause any long term damage to the transmission. My calculations says no but more tests will follow.
My guess is that Porsche didn't want to make a fully gated shifter because it requires a precise adjustment of the coupler and frequent replacing of the bushings.
