Going from 991 GT3 to 997 GT3 or RS?

And oddly enough, I've found the 7.1 shifter to be ever so slightly smoother than the 7.2. But again that could just be the difference between individual examples I've owned/driven. I honestly don't know if there's any actual mechanics differences?

^^^ I haven't yet had the hrs/miles in mine to change the tranny fluids yet (997.2 non-RS),... but I can say with certainty that with my air-cooled 964 Turbo G50 trans (driven for 15 yrs now), I can definitely tell when I've waited too long to change the tranny oil.
.... I'll be doing my G97 trans oil this summer. I'll see if I can feel any difference. For the last 1.5 yrs of ownership it still feels great shifting (& that's coming from a guy whose 964 Turbo G50 trans shifting is very smooth,... as a street oriented Turbo is meant to be. So they are very different).
anyway,.... I second the motion.

^^^did you ever get your 7.1 shifting any better? Seems like you had a laundry list of things you were going to try? I’ll say this: given the age and varying use/abuse these cars have endured, I have experienced significantly different gear-box feel from one 997 gt example to the next. Yes, they all are very mechanical and deliberate gearboxes, but some do feel like your rusted bolt-action comment (meaning they feel BAD) and others feel like a very mechanical but well functioning machine. YMMV, but 10-15years later and all types of variance in use/abuse/maintenance, the gearboxes are not commodities at this point (along with most every other system in the car). They can vary quite a bit. Some/most of these cars have been driven very very hard in comparison to your average toy. If yours feels like rusted-shut rifle or slow or however you describe it, I can show you an example that does not. Hopefully with the right TLC, you can get yours operating better.

I also don't mind the clutch, whether that be SF daily driving, or now in the mid-west...
go get a PDK

I don't really like the technology on the cars after 997
sure, they're very capable cars, I knew that going in
but after buying a GT4 last year, and only putting 40 miles on it before selling, I knew I wouldn't care for the larger, higher tech 991 and beyond cars
it just might be me, but whatevs...
