Broken record:

The gzeiro s in the mishnah as axiomatic

The GMARA assigns rabba's svara to it

The above puts the cart before the horse!

We don't have a svara in need of creating svaros! Adderabba the gzeira
is a given and the svara comes later. [Wolpoe's law #1 we know WHAT
but not always why]

Also certain g'zeiros are sui generis.

Nevertheless, It's still a pretty good question! But the shema yaavirena
is AFAIK never used to generate any gzeira. Rather it is Rabbah's svara
to explain the gzeiros that already [pre-]existed in the Mishnah! (Or
possibly from an old Sanhedrin)

it is possible that Mishnah Tosefta and even Yerushalmi did not know of
this dynamic.
