Odd to talk of a "balanced skyline" with the abrupt drop off at 1 Rincon.

This is bothering me the more I look at the rendering from Dolores Park, even though it's a totally different issue. I don't see the eastern edge of the skyline changing any time soon though, the areas to the right of One Rincon are pretty built out, height limits and NIMBY concerns notwithstanding.

I don't think that the NIMBYs are going to be the main problem here; a downtown site like this doesn't have a lot of immediate neighbors, although you never know who will take issue. The problem isn't NIMBYism per se but rather that several aspects of the project overstep the zoning and development standards for the site (which you could argue exist to some degree due to NIMBYism). The planners' job is to apply the development standards to the site, so they have some justification for questioning this project. Nevertheless, in the labyrinth of SF and state planning bureaucracy, there may be a way for this to happen. Probably not as currently proposed still.
