One thing that gets overlooked is the age and hardening of rubber bushings and rubber body mounts. I don't know how much effect this would have on making the ride harsh and noisy but would expect it to have some effect.
The TL Packards were great highway speed cruisers, no question. Your point about upkeep is well taken. "Care and feeding of the Torsion-Level Suspension" is a great topic. What it really takes to keep them maintained and "tuned," including the leveling system.
Any thoughts about the reported harshness of the conventionally sprung V8 Packards, and/or comparisons with '51-54 suspensions?
