Stock engine is right, have it scanned first.

Dr D is right, how can you have a rack and Pinion problem if the CRV is not EPS?

45k tranny rekit and repair... Very expensive to me... Try changing the ATF first, with the right ATF grade, if this can handle Dexron 3, my recommendation is Eneos D3 ATF (corrected my 2014 Ford Everest's notorious shift shock), this will cost you around P270 per Liter + P300 labor.

As for the supports, the most I've seen is 3 supports, all of which you said you've replaced. So move forward.

Yes the RPM is too low for any vehicle. A scan will guide you best.

I suggest you to go step by step, eliminate the simple and cheap problems first.
1) My crv is 2. 0 and this variant comes with Eps po.
So the latest news is I rebushed the rack and pinion and now the knocking noise on rough road is gone. First shop gave a price of 15k then second shop 13k then third 9500 and then finally one guy did it for 5k.

2) I changed the spark plugs and checked the throttle body, it's super clean. Next I put the car on OBD scanner and there are no codes at all. Yet the car idles at 400-500rpm. Car doesn't stop or anything, just some annoying vibrations on idle....

3) I found a shop in banawe who is willing to repair my auto tranny for 30k... Not sure if this is a good deal?
I was thinking to try to flush the ATF but all the mechanics saying that this sort of jerk is related to clutch problem not Atf....
