Smerel,
You are sadly mistaken. The reason halacha seforim don’t bring down the issurim from the shalosh shavuos is because halacha seforim are for halachos for a specific individual. An issur which is incumbent on the whole of klal yisroel isn’t relevant to such a sefer.
But the Rambam does actually bring the shalosh shavuos when writing a letter to Jews who were planning to move to eretz yisroel. He said that the shavuos didn’t apply in that case but never do we find that a rishon or any gadol before Zionism and after that says that they just aren’t ‘binding’.
