Should I have put the throwout on the high setting? Is something wrong with the twin disk? Is this partly because I didn't do the poly engine mounts at the same time as the poly trans mounts? Is my gearbox dying? Am I crazy and all of this is normal? Lmao.

I haven't experienced this personally, but read posts on here stating that adding stiffer trans mounts with stock engine mounts can cause issues. It sounds like you took every bit of NVH dampening out of the drivetrain at the transmission. Video with sound might help; if it isn't spitting out metal or smoke there's a chance it's fine. Can you be more elaborate about what "feels wrong?"
I can personally attest that adding the poly rear shifter bushing with stiffer front shifter bushings results in what sounds like a shaft constantly rubbing against a heat-shield while in gear and moving (although this is very faint w/stock clutch and selector rod). Adjusting idle is typically only for NVH from stiffer engine mounts, so raising the idle likely wouldn't reduce your issue.
