It sounded to me like the maggid shiur felt it was assur. To me the
question was what is the shul's policy? -- if they disagree, they should
get another maggid shiur. As to shul davening practices, I would say
the same thing. I might not agree with certain shul practices, but if
it's a judgment call (which I think this is), it is up to them.

Not exactly. I think each party may believe it is a bfeirush Halacha
but disagree on what the Halacha is. It is then up to the specific
kahal/rav in question to make a determination (e.g. our Ashkenazi shul
does't allow an eidah hamizrahi individual to use his nussach when he
davens for the amud)
