What does R' Yisrael Salanter do? He makes a chiluq between kibush
hayeitzer,
doing the right thing despite taavos otherwise, and tiqun hayeitzer, which
is getting the taavos in line. (And primarily a consequence of the hergel
set up by kibush).

The Rambam is usually explained as making a chiluq between mitzvos sichlios
and shim'iyos. IOW, the Sifrei bedavqa applies to shaatnez or maachalos
asuros, but not to something people have a native understanding of, like
ayaros.

I'd like to see what R' Yisroel Salanter says in the source, but I'm afraid
that your p'shat won't answer my question as the Sifra specifically uses
these three examples: 1) Shaatnez 2) Chazir 3) _Lavo Al Ha'ervah_. You can
see for yourself here, Perek 9, Halachah 10:
