When reversing your loading the drivetrain and the running gear as well as engine.I suspect there was no issu with the dmf and pot luck guess diagnosis

Combustion intolerance and coefficient of friction of the clutch will no doubt combine to create your symptoms

You will always feel feedback via the clutch pedal

Dmf failure can difficult to diagnose without removal of the box and testing the spring force but by then the tech is likely to bang one in, Combustion intolerance either fuel pressure/timing or mechanical wear are major factors often overlooked by the common dmf fix

Also engine and gearbox mounting alignment is often overlooked

I suspect your method of reversing is a contributing factor and as the vehicle drives fine forwards then its unlikely to meet your requirements unless you compare with a like for like

With 1.9 increase the idle speed to 900/950 and try that also if the fault continues and you still have uneven idle test the tandem pump pressure at idle for this may be the actual problem
