i.e. you need to do IRT on every type you intend to fly IFR

Yes I'm sure that you spent most of the time flying instruments, I would hope so too, considering that is what you will probably be doing with it. But I'm also sure you spent at least as much time learning the systems and emergency procedures for that aircraft. If not, I would be most concerned
All I'm saying is that you were not taught HOW to fly on instruments, I'm sure that it was a given that you could already do that. I would like to place a bet that anyone who has the required skills to fly IFR,(never having set foot in a twin) would be able to fly a twin under IFR, given the training in that particular aircraft.
