Unless one is interested in perserving a practice for historical reasons, over gaining functional usage
Most of the questions can only be answered through usage.
The problem with comparisons made on practice, not usage, it’s not known why the changes or differences if any were made or are used. In most cases they’re intern methods until one gains functional use, not requiring them.
It is not if or when you do it but why

So in that case I'm looking at every shift, turn, footwork, hand, etc.

the turning on the weighted leg puts deep use of lower abdomen and lower back muscles, in xin/xingyi advancing forward works in similar way,
