This doesn't seem to have been discussed lately.

I suspect it hasn’t been discussed as I think it has been resolved. My understanding from reading elsewhere is that the driveline inertia was higher than expected. So on gear shifts, and with a low inertia engine, it would create enough oscillations that it caused problems. Temporary solution was to move shift points up into a higher rpm range. The higher shift points and audible oscillations were notable. However I think later in the season they started to shift at a lower rpm and the audible oscillations were gone or reduced. So I assume they resolved the issue.
