There's an episode of how it's made or something.
It's that age old argument. "Well I've done it and it was fine." Maybe that time. But I think something so important shouldn't be messed with.
I don't mean to argue, but being a forum of public record, I voice my opinion.
Not remembering someone saying something way back when, is not the greatest evidence. However, hard physical evidence says not to.
If you rebuild a motor and it goes wrong, you can still stop.

Its using an o ring seal, not a full gasket. My experience has been good starting from the middle and working out, but the o ring protrudes 2 or 3 mm past the sealing surface.
For what its worth, the first time i broke one of these apart i was following a haynes or a chilton manual, not the FSM. Never even was aware that there was such a rabid adherance to what the FSM doesnt detail. I i recall, the aftermarket manual shows a diagramed disassembly of the caliper. Ill see if i can dig it up and cooraborate it.
