Hi Girl! hope you are good.
I don't recall SCOIN saying that reinstatement ruled out a claim of ineffective representation - I think it was only something that came up in argument?
The only question SCOIN was ruling on, was whether Judge Gull acted too hastily in removing the duo. It could still be they were negligent and ineffective - just that she didn't make out a factual/legal basis for removal.
IMO
ETA - this seems to be the key passage. Judge Gull unfortunately didn't make these required additional findings (though she could have). But on appeal, Attorneys for Allen could develop the argument to show how the negligence/incompetence harmed the defence. For example, maybe they could argue that Baldwin's "social media conspiracy brain" led him to leaking crime scene photos and tunnelling into unbelievable conspiracies instead of focussing on obvious arguments ...
