You point to the fact that it says "when gear is down". There's an argument to be made for that logic, but I'll reiterate, if there was an actual danger in moving the gear and flaps simultaneously, they'd have put that in the limitations chapter. They found time to include a maximum speed in a turn above 76T. The navigation section of the limitations chapter if full of both esoteric, and general limitations. I find it difficult to believe that moving the gear and flaps simultaneously cases undue stress, and they didn't include it in the limitations section.

Worth noting that for GA, it doesn't say to wait for the flaps to lock before raising the gear. Surely raising the ear puts more stress on the system than lowering it.
