"The driver will be signed for production; it just isn't at the moment"
It doesn't matter what will eventually be done. What matters is that your driver is not currently signed. The Legacy option / Windows can't see into the future and know that you're eventually going to sign it. "I shouldn't need the Legacy option" If the driver is not signed, and you say it is not, then you need the Legacy option. Even if you eventually plan to sign it. You'll just want to remember to turn Legacy back off when you eventually do sign the driver.

The driver will be signed for production; it just isn't at the moment. I shouldn't need the Legacy option. I've been mulling over perUser vs. perMachine installs and my conclusion is that there's no point in a per-user install because the user would need to be an admin anyway (or be elevated) to install the driver. So I was a bit surprised when my per-machine installer failed but I _think_ it's because of where I put my self-signed certificate (in the user store, not the machine store) - I just want to be sure that I'm not missing something and the install won't fail in the field, and you guys are the experts!
