With laser trimming, it can be reduced to the level of the CMRR. At that
point, it stops mattering that it is caused by the R-R nature of the part.

I think the circuit could be done just as well with the LM301 op-amp
assuming you pull the output up. If you compensate them, they can handle
driving capacitive loads.
