Not only did that put a permanent rift between Tyrion and Jamie but it also lead to Jamie drawing away from Cersei. Tyrion continued to obsess about Jamie's act long afterwards which is why he decides to do what he does. That is not to say they can't make up new reason for these things but the rift between Tyrion and Jamie simply doesn't exist now so placating that in the show would be difficult. That item is really the only thing that could break the two up.
I was a bit disappointed in Tyrion's story and the x-wife not being mentioned more. Jamie is on his little hero quest to be a better person in the books and releasing Tyrion was part of that in my opinion. Like you said, he's trying to repair the rift because he's realizing how his family has been. The way it was told it seems like Jamie and Cersei are still a thing and it was pity vs a dedicated shift to being a better person. They made Shae into more of a character and her betrayal doesn't have the same impact as if everyone knew that this was the second time Tywin "screwed" with Tyrion's heart. It also gives more reason to why he shot him with the "whore" comment.
Something tells me this is a setup for the Cersei decline storyline.

I'm curious if that means Snow is in "hardcore mode" story wise too.
