The header and the line before the header are definitely better, and I would say that the line with the raisebox are too tall. It is subjective of course (from both of us). But a manual should just pick a good package and stick to it without adding fixes all over the place IMO.

Thanks. I understand that this requires time.

The vast majority of people are used to word/excel. I thought that the point of LyX was to advocate something better. I agree that publications that print whatever was sent by the will sport word-tables, but I can tell you that Springer Verlag, for example, will rewrite tables to be up to publishing standards.
I really think that formal tables should be given a very prominent place in the docs.
