I think the appeal should proceed:

functionality will be seen as SPF failure unless PRA is forced to use
its own records
But a successful appeal will not "force PRA to use its own records".
It will only allow you to point to an experimental RFC and say
"you shouldn't be using v=spf1 records for PRA". The abuser will simply
point to Microsoft documentation and say, "this says you should
publish v=spf1 only if MFROM and PRA and the same". Who are they
going to believe, an experimental RFC, or Microsoft documentation?
