from what i understand you can't and should not repair RFTs as the shop can't be sure of whether or not you have structural damage on your tires from driving on low psi tires?

Depends on the type of damage, how long you ran on it, how low it was, etc. Some good info here:

good info. just curious, if you have a nail in your tire but there is no leak (i.e. driving on it for 2 months with no change in PSI), should you even be concerned?

fyi I scheduled an appointment to fix a laundry list of things (underbody creak on driveways, brake-release causing bump before accelerating, and tire vibration-paying for this one with wheel balancing)... which brings me to my point. Wheel balance & tire rotation is the name of the package. I don't know how much it'll cost but I thought BMW doesn't recommend rotations?

No, they do not recommend tire rotation. It's one thing you don't have to worry about.
