Bump stops need to be progressive ( cone shape or Michelin Man looking ) otherwise if you hit them, the suspension goes from compliant to solid instantly. this can lead to snap under / oversteer.

Not really, they are a great design. If the sleeve was free to rotate, it would squeak. For a road car, the movement is minimal as at ride height the bushing is in an relaxed state. This is why tightening pivot bolts at ride height is critical.
