china_shop: Zhao Yunlan wearing a blue mask that says, "I heart SW." (Guardian - Zhao Yunlan I <3 SW mask)

Yes, but I still feel like the show didn't actually intend for that surprise ...

So, like, the self-healing scene is there to underline the point of his Dixingrenness for people who hadn't got it yet, and the Envoy connection is implicit from that?

OWWWWWWWW.

Riiiiiight? /o\

I mean, look at how Professor Ouyang's lab does deal with her Hallows experience! I assumed he wanted to know if the SID was going to treat her as a research subject. (His worry about Li Qian coming through.)

I think it's definitely his worry about Li Qian coming through, but I'm not sure "research subject" would qualify as a backlash, per se. But maybe after Zhao Yunlan challenges him on his interest, he covers by saying he's concerned about a backlash? (One of those times it would be really helpful to fully grok the original lines rather than relying on subs, I think.)
