Whilst I wait for my prints to finish, I thought I'd stick this up. I opened up your gcode in simplify3d to see where the retraction points were:

You can see that you're retracting on both the inner and outer layers of the shell.

With my stock simplify3d settings a single print of your STL looks as follows:

Yes I'm doing three shells, but I'm only retracting at movements and layer changes (both turned on). There is no alignment of retractions.

I'm currently printing one inside-out, and one outside-in print to see how they differ.

At least according to the slicer, for outside-in I'll see retractions on the outer shell of the print:

@jatmn cheers. I do try. I'll try the same print on my skr running RRF tomorrow.

Do you have shots from prints running Marlin?

I scaled down the model so I could get the prints out a little faster. Cut it down to 10mm and was more than enough to show the behavior. Top print is outside-in, bottom print is inside-out. The results don't match what I would have anticipated from the slicer here. Both have visible seams. With inside-out looking marginally worse.
