AFAIK the manned Dragons will have to use LIDS, in case they need to leave in a hurry.
Exactly, the CBM isn't made for fast operations. Also, the docking port question is also about which spacecraft is active and which is passive. CBM makes the Dragon the passive spacecraft, it can only dock to a powered ISS. LIDS or others make the Dragon the active spacecraft and could permit docking to uncooperative targets.
