Consider also that operational pilots wore cumbersome flight gear, with heavy jacket, mae west, oxygen tubes and radio cables.
All this said, I believe that 6 DOF should be severely restricted to be realistic. But, in the interest of playability and different opinions, some allowance can be considered as an option. Have I already said that I like the word “option”?

Well look like you have never had a 6 point harness on and what the shoulder strap are for is to stop you move forward and up, the conforming seat that they don't you in 1944 are what stop you moving side way. As it was the harness don't work that well and that meant there was the needed to have cushioning for the gun site because the pilot would hit them with violent maneuvers and crash landing. Also pilot would often have bruised arms after dog fighters from being bang from side to side in the copit.
