I wouldn't be without it for my mk7, mk6 I'm not so sure but yes you will be happy with it.
Aftermarket systems i think are made to read the pids and then the software interprets it, ids uses the actual ford software and the hardware is built to perform the function the same way.
The longevity of the hardware remains to be seen tho:-(
My vcm1 lasted a year and broke, my first vcm2 still works but has been playing up
I have a spare tho

Yaw sensor is longitudinal sensor (it is an accelerometer so i don't think it can get physically damaged from a crash.)
You can calibrate the steering angle sensor, park the van on the flat with steering wheel centralized and do the procedure.
You can calibrate the longitudinal sensor also.
First make sure you have the correct parts fitted and codes cleared etc.
Xprog in my signature, that'll give you module programming back
