Yes, I think modern suspension design with trailing arms and guide rods do a decent job at preventing bump steer and keeping the wheel moving in a fairly consistent arc. I don't think you would see a dramatic change in motion ratio throughout the dynamic range of motion if you were to measure and plot it.
Take note that he has removed a significant amount of weight from the rear of the car. That will affect how relatively "stiff" the 450lb/in spring is in the rear. He also flared the fenders, so that helps with the fact that a rear coil-over takes away a significant amount of in-board wheel clearance. Just gotta hope that upper strut mount holds lol.
