.....That Paul is condemning G-d's Torah but not "apostolic tradition" would be to make him a hypocrite . . . wouldn't it?

Paul did not condemn the Torah... As the Torah was NEVER the vehicle to salvation, rather it was the 'Divine' system by which a 'freed' people would be blessed and protected when they 'at least' sought to adhere. All but the blood sacrifices still hold "IF" an individual or a nation expects those blessings Moses described.

And it isn't "a vehicle to salvation" today because G-d did not give man a "vehicle to salvation" but commandments to repair and complete the creation. That is still man's duty today.

Most chr*stians, regardless of denomination, insist that the Torah has been "done away with" (and quote Paul to prove it). My point is that at least the antinomian "faith only" people are more consistent than those churches (Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican, Arminian, restorationist, mormon, etc.) who hold that the Torah was explicitly abolished in order to pray it merely with another set of laws, rituals, and commandments.
