Reader Story: Does Pedal Kickback Actually Happen?
There is another way to look at this. In order for your rear wheel to pull back on the cranks the chain has to be tight. That would mean zero chain slap at that instance. If you look at bottom out photos floating around the interwebs you’ll see the chain is usually everywhere except tight. It would be interesting to see some slow motion footage at the moment kickback is believed to be felt.

Are we to assume you were coasting with cranks horizontal during the data aq? Or was there some pedaling? Sorry if you said and I missed it.

Credit Jeff Steber for inventing that and FiveTen for mainstreaming it.

I fully agree here! You do lose stiffness with a curved drive side stay, and it's harder to build than a straight line, but the Nishiki Alien and Yeti Ultimate were always my favourite bikes with their elevated chainstays.
