If it's only contrastive phonemes, then why have the tap [ɾ]? If some allophonic variation is represented, why *only* tap? I'm thinking about today's [ɔ], which it transcribed as [o͡ʊ].

IPA character of the week: [ɞ] open-mid central rounded vowel.
In a previous century, this could have been an emoticon for a heart. Too bad we have a whole new typographical technology to make it obsolete! 💔
