lol, even mine wasn't super bad. 1/4 quart in 3500 miles. Just enough to take the sight glass from high to low between changes. But it bothered me so I did new seals and rings. No more oil burn!

A quarter of a quart of oil is what? One dollar? Maybe two bucks if one uses gee-whiz special oil? And a person rides maybe 7500 miles per year? (20k miles for 'Wolf).
You decided to rebuild an engine to save $2 to $4 per year? That doesn't make any sense.

My only question is if her oily cloud and smell is on decel after downshifting or on the initial blip to rev match for downshifting? I don't know if that was mentioned.

It was a guy who reported on the smell. Guys aren't known for their keen olfactory sense. A quarter of a quart of oil use in 5k miles is in the noise: insignificant. Any smoke or smell is probably due to fueling. And it's still insignificant. A non-problem.
