Yes, the hose clamp captures most of the threaded section of the cable. If I used only the adjuster I would only cover about 1/3 inch of the threads. If I did that I can see it popping out and leaving me stranded somewhere. There really is very little stress on that cable so I think my solution will work fine for a long time. Now if I found out that the newer cables were 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer, I'd buy one and put it in. And put in my 997/987 shifter which is now sitting in the garage.
The "slop" is what I thought you were referring to regarding the shifter mounting plate. In other words, any movement of the shifter after it is placed on the 4 studs that are used for mounting and before it is tightened down.
