These statements have identical meaning to me:

 * "we optionally-but-preferred MUST do..."
 * "we optionally-but-preferred SHOULD do..."
 * "we SHOULD do..."

None of them is a MUST: The first instead contains a super confusing 
"this sentence does not state a MUST despite writing one".

Can we please write MUST only when we mean MUST. See also

If you insist then ruin SHOULD instead - how about SHOULDish, SHOULDer 
and SHOULDest?  See also https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6919
