I agree with you, SRM is designed to smooth out gear changes and balances the chassis. In fact it might actually avoid damages to your transmission while downshifting! It’s a great feature but heel and toe is still more fun but not as accurate as the computer!

Like any car, there are bound to be some problems, but there have been a number of posts on this board of new buyers of MT who have never driven one and asking advice whether they can do it. There was also a thread where it was stated that someone discovered that they didn't need to fully depress the clutch to shift. And we know a few are drivin the sh.. out their cars and a missed shift etc is possible. So lets not blow this out of proportion until there are more reports or we understand more of potential causes.
