I'd support Stan 187 insofar as the Soviet Army increasingly tried to exploit this principle of close armor support by mechanized/motorized infantry through progressive vehicle designs. Clearly the BTR-152 didn't attempt to move things forward but the BMP/BMD designs specifically tried to accentuate a perceived advantage and exploit it.
There's no rule. Times best to stay mounted and others where you'd best unass at quick-step. A couple of mechanized infantry commanders here who'd (I think) support this. As such, while not a sound doctrinal approach, it's clearly a tactical consideration under any given circumstance.
No sense ever limiting your options.
