Is there a reason not to do the tsb for the hard 5 to 4 shift.

I think there are multiple things included with that TSB aside from just transmission tuning. Some people have reported the chime sound being different sometimes, I actually heard it myself the other day. Almost seems like they took code from the 2014 software and copied it over but forgot to update some things with the new stuff.
Some people also reported the auto-start auto climate working properly after getting the trans TSB done. I saw this morning (45 degrees out) that my truck started blowing heat once it was warm and my seat heater had started despite not seeing any lights on the dash, and I haven't had the TSB done (nor have I had the hard 5-4 downshift). My truck is a march 2015 build so any built from then on probably already had the flash done.

Either way, I've got 1100 miles on it now and I have no complaints about the trans other than the typical Ford slow change from R-->D. I guess if I start noticing the hard 5-4 I'll bring it in.

How many miles are on your truck? I'll see how I can help make that shift a bit smoother.
