An question: what is it about the vinegar rinse that restores
crispness? Is it just the base neutralizing the soap residue, or
something more interesting?

Well, yes, all silk (except maybe noil) does, to a certain extent.
It might, or might not, be a problem. Thing is, you won't know
until you try it with your particular piece of fabric. Also, to
give it back some of its crispiness, add some vinegar to the rinse
water.
