As always, YMMV. How much were they moved inboard? In my case a 30mm cut would have meant 1.5cm sticking out each side.
Originally I’d included some straw polls I did of friends - who had tried narrower bars, moving grips v. cutting, who moved back after but it was unwieldy. Still very curious to hear how folks’ experiments have gone.

Two other things not explicitly stated in the article. 1) Some folks are riding around on bars that have been scary-abused over long periods of time; they’re not really expensive to change. Good reminder I think. 2) Not suggesting anyone empty their savings or abuse their card, but if you were going to spend some money on your bike this year anyways it’s not a bad time to support a company you like.
So yeah, killing three+ birds with one bar piece!
