Is this an incorrect interpretation? I would be ecstatic if you said there was a Q/A answer saying that we could use other connectors, but it seems that <R48> (and the associated graphic to <R48>) says otherwise.
You are correct that the terminals in the kit are required. However, they have plenty of time to make the relatively minor change.

Q: R48 specifies the use of SLU-70 lugs. Can we use solid copper crimped on lugs, attached with proper lug crimping tools, that have less tendency for wires to work loose, and are more reliably insulated with heat shrink tubing?
A: You must use the lugs provided.
