While debugging some odd noises I hear from engine area when shifting to R or D I noticed whenever transmission was engaged, the whole exhaust system moved up. Is this expected behavior? Is this a sign of worn engine mounts or something else?
Here is the video evidence:

Check if your dog-bone mount (top of the engine near passenger side) is broken or not.
Mine was broken and it stressed out the WU-CAt (pre-cat) and sheared it off. So dont delay as one thing leads to another.

Damn. That sucks for you. Will check out the dogbone next chance I get, it's only about a year old so maybe I got a defective one.

It is hard for the average joe like me to determine what is normal tolerance since most people will never observe the exhaust moving up / down or dogbone during gear shifting.
