With a cartridge length of around 84mm, you are at the transition from the cylindrical shape of the bullet to the ogival, what is not ideal for crimping.

Back then, Harald Wolf from Hatari Times, a aficionados of the Cartridge 11,2x72 Schüler, had special bullets made for it. Unfortunately, these bullets never went into production.

What part of "does not need a cannelure to crimp when using a Lee crimp die" fails to be understood?

I understand the OP saying the ctg. does not need a cannelure due to not hunting with it. Since it is using fairly fast(moderate) burning powders and has a slight shoulder, it might not need a crimp to get the powder burning correctly, as can be trouble in a straight sided case.
I found adding a crimp to my straight sided and small shouldered cases improved accuracy due to improved, more consistent ballistics.
