I watched both of those videos and was like well apparently they both move about the same.
my only issue is I have a 12" jackplate so I put it all the way down when trailering. also my transom saver to the trailer would be about 3 foot long atleast.
I use the wedge and haven't had any issues. I plan on buying a motor mate soon.
ETA: as blue moons said I've watched my motor when in chop or moving and it moves a lot more than you think.

I have a 12", too. No issues trailering on 3".
Regarding the outboard motions when trailering or running, there is a little slack in every moving tilt/trim/steering component, and even in the JP and transom. All of these motions you're seeing aren't necessarily indicative of transom movement, or motions going into the transom.
Sure, as a general rule, you're better off with the motor moving as little as possible, or more importantly, accelerating as little as possible.
Someone needs to tape an iPhone with an accelerometer app on it to the cowl, and repeat the test.
