As you have to "use tools" to access this link to make it front panel programmable again it is "legal" to the letter of the law.....

When you say "letter of the law", which law or laws do you refer?
Whether it is programmable from the front panel or not should be no impairment to use in the amateur service.
I also doubt that simply inhibiting front panel programming will ensure it meets type approval for other services. Most obviously as it has not been tested and approved in that configuration.
