7-22 talks about RNAV, but nothing has changed from Rev3B that I can find. (CFM 10-2)
7-16 does get rid of the requirement to select HDG or NAV mode at 400’. (Rev3B CFM 10-19) Now to be selected right after speed mode at V2+10, at V2+10-15 KIAS.
FOM 8-12 already requires the FD and LDI for all RNAV SIDs, and recommends use of A/P.
This has nothing to do with RNAV specifically. In rev 4, FD must be on for all takeoffs (Except MEL and w/ LCP). Forget about RNAV in reference to anything I've written.

Why don't you give your passengers that brief. I Think they would deplane.
Imagine if your Dr told you they weren't going to use the newer, safer, higher tech procedures, but wanted to practice the old way?
Not a valid analogy. It would be analogous if you said that if any one of a laundry list of problems happens to the high tech during the procedure, the Dr. would have to revert to the old way and if he doesn't pull it off you die. And the old way is a perishable skill that can only be maintained by actually doing it regularly.
How about this brief: "your professional Airline Transport Pilots are not capable of doing what 100 hour Private Pilots are ostensibly trained and tested for."

Should be A-OK, they'll still allow it if you find it deferred and it's gonna be your first ever time giving it a whirl.
At the end of the day your responsible for the people in the back
I don't see how anyone can fulfill that responsibility without being proficient and comfortable flying the plane. And I don't see how anyone can be proficient and comfortable flying the airplane without... flying the airplane.
