Vochindik: Welcome back. I thought you had left this screen name behind. It is mentioned in many Poskim that it might only be for his direct descendants (you are correct that it probably means most Ashkenazim nowadays, so maybe they mean Ben Achar Ben). And most of the things in the Tzava’ah seem to be against Gemaros (certainly the things he says not to do were all Muttar Midina D’gemara). He had different Cheshbonos for what he wrote in the Tzava’ah, obviously.
