My second question was, is this less known because fewer boots of the
Ripp-heavy shows have circulated (maybe because they weren't as good or
essential and have therefore languished in obscurity)?

For sure.  Most of the solo shows I've heard (quite a few, albeit sometimes
just in unidentified fragments) don't feature all that much Television
material (unless you count MM, which is only one song but certainly "a lot
of Television material).
