I think the main issue with my OEM hanger installation was that in an attempt to get the tips aligned, the guy that installed mine put the OEM hangers in a bound/twisted position, and everything was torqued down very tight, and that was allowing some of the vibration to transfer to the body. Well, that's the theory, anyway.

Yeah, it sounds like the bigger isolators on the DKF are the ticket.
I sold my DKFs before I had a chance to try the better isolators.
I also sold my RPI, so drone was no longer a problem
DKF are definitely nice for adjustment because you can get the isolator in a near no load position.
For OE I find it easiest to fasten the hanger first then adjust the tips.
With the donut clamp snug, I use a floor Jack to raise the tips to the right height and use a rubber hammer to whack the donut clamp side to side for adjustment.
Then finish tightening the donut clamp.
