Hey, I'm on your side, just passing on real information on what has happened in the past. But to address a few of your questions, all your stuff could be "kosher", and still have contact. And I know you know this, but with duration not being speced, that could be the cause of contact, not just lift on a "legal" setup. And as you quoted from the rulebook, it does not say 1 of 8 is ok, or 2 of 8 is ok, its says it can not be modified. It does not say modified on purpose, or modified by accident. If you have two identical engines in tear down and one has "scuffs" on the piston or pistons and one does not, there may be a problem. A piston with a mark in it from contact with the valve is modified. From first hand experience you don't want to have a judgement call made at your expense. Carry on.
