Wow, that's an extremely bold move.

It says in accordance with FCOM procedures, then goes on to say a CSR must be filed EVERY time you don't do single-engine taxi.

FCOM SP S.E. Taxi:

For operational environments such as uphill slope, soft asphalt,
high gross weights, congested ramp areas, specific airfield
restrictions, and wet/slippery ramps and taxiways, single engine
taxi is NOT recommended.
That pretty much precludes it's use in at least 50% of our ops, unless you choose to ignore the SP recommendations. Not sure how you then have a defence in court if it goes wrong.

So now we MUST file a CSR on at least c.50% of flights? Will this scare some of the weaker-minded into using SE taxi when not appropriate?

Interesting times ahead.
