As they say, you CAN sleep with your sister but she might not be the best thing to do. 
I guess you can do it but why? Is the gain so much that it is worth over $1000 plus time to do? I have FX3 and back then, the shocks were junk ones so I'd have to get new shocks. If you told me that I have to run wires for all that, I probably would have passed if it was today. Back then, the car was worth more as a good platform than today, IMO
Why? Could you not have run one more wire to the CCM? Since you were already so far into it?
Again, why? Those are only good for 90 days at about half the price. If you are keeping the car, why not "go for the gold" and get the new ones that are lifetime warranty? I did and had 1 leaking shock. Ended up sending both fronts back and they had a new shipping label made up 2 hours after receiving it. I have doubts they made it anywhere in the factory besides the trash can.

I did it because I wanted the two missing option in my car....no other reason is needed and therefore executed successfully. Oh, and I installed the LTPWS also and that also works correctly....YMMV.
As for the rest, just because it doesn't work for you, doesn't mean others may want it since it is an upgrade that can be done if you have the initiative and skills to do it.
Let's get back on track as this distracts from the OP's question.

So the input is only the VSS and whatever the actuators say? My Section 8A is at my friend's house so I can't verify without a trip

You mentioned the CCM so I was curious. Sorry if you don't like my thought on the FX3 when I said IMO, it wasn't worth it. Perhaps you can tell me the "party line" and I'll try work it in.

Instead of wiring and computers I have always thought of using a high end shock like a Penske and adjusting the rebound and compression dampening my self.I have had a few motorcycles that had fully adjustable suspension from the factory.Most people try to make the car stiffer .This not always the correct option .The tires need to follow the pavement.
