If spherical rod ends were used on a triangulated 4-link instead of bushings, wouldn't that eliminate binding during extreme body roll?
Even a 3 or 4 link with a Wishbone or Watts linkage would bind if the 3-4 links had bushings instead of rod ends.
Assuming we are talking about "handling" and not drag racing, in roll, spherical bearings would increase bind, leading to "snap oversteer", when the spring rate rises extremely fast as system binds. The fact the fox body is a tin can, it works until it rips apart, and the reason there must be some compliance in the design, dual durometer bushings, flexible upper arms in twist, etc. The arms are all? swinging thru different competing arcs, causing the bind.

I have the OP's RMS supplied rear link system on my 70 GTX. I have only driven it 70 miles and decided to rewire it(another story) I liked the ride. I did NOT build the car to race so that level of performance is beyond what I am knowledgeable enough to comment. I like the idea of the independent shocks and the adjust ability of stiffness and ride ht, you don't get that with a stock leaf spring suspension. Here is a pic and a few to follow
