Coming from this field personally, this feels like typical Temperley and de Clerq sorts of things. Davie Temperley was in David Huron's lab once upon a time, I believe.

The systematic musicology world, especially the portion doing corpus studies, often is just doing descriptive research. The article linked is a bit more prescriptive.

The best book on music theory ever written, IMO, is David Huron's "Voice Leading -- The Science Behind a Musical Art." Definitely recommend.

This article is about "we should change things because we know more!" Huron has always been more about "we should know more!"

For me, I'm with the latter.
