Given that Hashem melech, the entirety of the Kabbalat Shabbat service, and several other pasuks are technically kabbalistic additions, those saying that Sphardi Nusach is pure and unaltered need to review. Supposedly the Ashkenazim actively avoided kabbalistic customs after the Shabbatei Tzvi debacle (although clearly some still made their way in). If you think the Sphardi Nusach is more accurate, that’s fully in your right, but that’s NOT actually what the academics say, contrary to popular belief.
