Im having the same trans issues as you guys, i have had my truck in for this issue 7 times, numerous reflashs, new mechatronic unit, new slip yoke and still nothing. I opened a case with ford motor company and to start they gave me an extended service plan for up to 75000 miles for nothing, if I were some of you I would start up the formal complaint procedure and make it fords problem for an additional 15000 miles, one way or another, somethings gotta give. I have an appt this week to take it into an independent reputable trans shop to properly diagnose this problem, and if this shop finds and fixes the truck I will send the bill to ford.

In my opinion Ford should limit 1st gear to be used in tow/haul mode.

I've got a 2011 ecoboost with 7k KM's on it. Tranny is a beauty towing or just driving. I have noticed a pretty hefty clunk sometimes from 1-2 or 2-3 if I'm accelerating/ driving slow. Not sure why. Not a big deal though...

I didn't notice anything when my truck was new either. I think around 8-10,000 miles was where the harshness became obvious. I didn't take my truck in for the reflash until about 15,000 miles.
Currently, I'm at 20,600 miles.

Mine isn't too bad, but when slowing down I get the 2-1 clunk right before stopping and my worst is a very hard shift about 40 mph going uphill (when giving gas to get on entrance ramp). It's been doing these since new, at 8K miles now.
