I'm not sure what you mean by strict. If by "regular and consistent" then, yes. There are a handful of irregular verbs. Everything else is completely regular with suffixes attached to the verb root.
Japanese is not unusual (on this particular point). That is probably the most common structure for a language. Swahili verbs are entirely regular and can have a long sequence of prefixes which follow a strict order. kula - to eat. usingalikula - (you) would not have eaten. halutayakula - (we) will not eat (those noun class 6 objects)

I think what they mean is can you form sentences that are not textbook and still make sense. In that case as long as you understand the particles and grammar you can make highly backwards sentences still work.

No, this supports only a highly regular subset of Japanese grammar. There are plenty of irregular phrases it doesn't cover, as in most languages.

No, it's missing basic things, accepts ungramattical sentences, and is fundamentally flawed by being based off nihongokyouiku grammar.

Textbook one that is usually taught in the first couple of years - yes quite strict and can be deduced to logical patterns. But every-day spoken informal Japanese... no.
And then there are a bunch of nuances that don't follow logic. You just need to learn about them. For example, word "you" is always considered informal, a bit intimate and a bit rude in spoken Japanese, it can be used in formal written Japanese.

Even informal Japanese comes down to basic patterns for grammar.
>For example, word ...
Word choice is not grammar. Knowing how to use words correctly is the hard part.
