Thank you for updating this, Alex! Critical post incoming, so I would like to clarify that I'm very happy for this update and appreciate your hard work to make this happen
With that said, I'm not totally on board with your philosophy regarding the pitch bend questions here. Why isn't this an option in the instruments? Who cares that it didn't sound realistic? Anything using pitch bend rarely sounds realistic anyways. It would not break your back adding a button to turn this on and off. Several of my other libraries also suffers from this over-clean approach, and a lot of others thankfully don't, which are the ones I often end up using, since it allows me freedom to do what I want without having to dive into the Kontakt wrench rabbit hole (which I can't do at all in my current version of CSS). Sometimes sounds like a crappy 80s synth? Sure does, but if that was what I wanted that day, then it's great. Options, that's all I'm asking for.
