Good overview.

One detail bothers me. It shows the modulator and demodulator fed the same signal. Huh? I have mowed this lawn before, and also read the ElectroSmash text, and I believe the Modulator comes off the "front" of the delay, the de-mod off the back end. They say there is a latch, so that's roughly "bit 1", as opposed to "44,000 bit-ticks later" where delayed bits come out to be de-modulated. So I like this re-draw:

Nice article. The anti-latch method is new info for me, I thought that was still a mystery. The rest looks familiar from my years of reading posts on various delays and my own projects. But awesome to see it all written up in a concise professional way. Kudos to the author!
