there's a diagram that indicates one should NOT slide a screwdriver

That makes sense from a OHS perspective due to the risk of scratching the tube -
BUT like (I presume) most other guys I always did just that carefully anyway. And
I don't know of any techs that would grab the rubber with their hands - if there
are any they are much braver souls than me.

Sony's been making CRTs for a long time so it seems strange they would
recommend a dangerous procedure like that. Any cracks or pinholes in
the rubber and you could wind up getting quite a jolt.
