Regarding the MCC type 3 points, they replace factory 3 points (albeit a different design) in factory mount locations, that could be a key differentiation from a harness. Not sure if that matters or not. But you'd never ever get a ticket for those belts. And his stuff is tested to surpass DOT requirements. But alas your point about non-stock could be legit.
So 2 discussions here: 1) legality and 2) safety.

Also begs the question; what's the difference between a Schroth DOT harness and a Simpson one? Anything other than filing paperwork?

I'm reading this now. Posted up for anyone else who wants to take a peek.
So far no sign of any requirement that 5 pts would not meet, other than the retractors. I think the "neck snap" due to 5 pt thing is bunk based on this text.
