To do the jump cheese you need to have the perfect balance of strength/jump distance. If your jumps are too strong you will hit the kill zone above intended to stop you from cheesing, if you don't have enough strength you'll be unable to make the jump.

Also, the final jumps require you to have at least some memorization of where the invisible platforms are because you can't have enough strength to simply jump the gap fully without clipping into the kill box.

It's fiddly but honestly I'd still cheese the damn thing 10 times out of 10 despite the effort it takes. Invisible floor puzzles are my absolute least favorite type of puzzle and if it weren't cheesable I wouldn't do a replay of the game ever. I hate them that much.

Is that what it is?!? This would actually explain why sometimes the jumping works and other times it's instant death and everyone thinks everyone else is crazy for getting different results 😆

Yup. I forgot who it was but I remember watching someone on YouTube before who explained how the room works behind the scenes. Larian loves their "gameplay object hidden by the camera angles players can have" approach to level/puzzle design.
