could be clutch "pump up"
does it happen immediately with everything over-night cold or does it kind of come with warming up?
had this on my old FC. If you pull "up" on the clutch pedal really hard it would release the trapped fluid and stop slipping. mine would also feel like the engagement point was kinda moving slowly upwards

Somebody didn't do their homework when machining the flywheel? Sticking it to a magnet without stoning the back will make it runout. I've seen a lot of flywheels with pretty good sized burrs at the threaded holes that go through the fly wheel. Best way is to support on the crank flange.

It's a 6 puck clutch, break in takes all of 5-6 clutch dumps haha. But it also has around 100 traffic miles on it. This is not my issue.
Not worse, it's pretty consistent. It's also not a regular slip either. It slips, and chatters.
This also can't be the issue 
it has been taken to the same, very reputable shop.

At this point, you've replaced everything clutch-related and supposedly done correctly.
The only other thing that I could see being related to power is your fancy rear diff.
Alternatively, the suspension may not be moving correctly as you accelerate.
Do you have the solid rear control arm bushings and camber adjusting parts? If so, the suspension could be binding and it's acting like a go-kart.

So which one is it? Just check that the clutch slave isn't pushing against the fork at rest and screwing up the clamping force.

Same set up = 6 puck, flywheel etc.
The clutch is slipping, suspension/diff literally have nothing to do with the issue.
