The A36 Bonanza has aileron-rudder interconnects to minimize the pedal
coordination required.

Yeah, a lot of airplanes did. The Tripacer had it as well. So did the
A300 I used to fly.



It took a while to get used to this "feature."

All it does is make x-wind landings a bit more challenging than they
should be as the pilot is fighting bungee pressure while applying
rudder for slips. You lose the feel and have to depend on visual cues.

In no way insurmountable, but just doesn't help all that much.

Yeah, if I bought something that had it I'd probably rip it out if I
could. One of my students bought a Tripacer converted to a Pacer and the
coupling had been left in. We had to remove it to make the airplane safe
to fly.
