Vivekachudamani is accepted as authoritative by Shankara mathas. So
traditional Shankara Matha understanding is pretty much able to endorse VC
without compromise of shastra pramANa. Does that make VC traditional or
modern-day according to you?

I partially agree with you however that the hype around "experiencing
samAdhi" without subsuming it within SMN framework is not correct.

But please note there is much traditional scholarship which has been able
to accommodate the word nirvikalpa samAdhi within the SMN context. Plz see
Chandramouliji post in your backlog.
