Newer Shimano (105 5800) seems to do just fine shifting under load up front going from small to big. Going the other way is asking for a dropped chain so I never do that. Hopefully Chorus is nearly as good as Shimano as that will do just fine.

I have been successfully shifting the rear under load since my first Sora-equipped bike. If it is a 'rule' disobeying it has never hurt anything on my bikes.
