I've tested the Aug-23 update for this trainer where it added the level and XP back.
It appears that the issue I was describing earlier about officers being "browned out" and can't do anything after having tampered with their level and putting them off the boat and back in, is in a limited capacity.
You can successfuly edit levels on officers up to level 5, but anything above that will effectively render the character useless as soon as he's taken off the boat and put back on.
This might not be a problem most of the time, if you can avoid taking them off the boat, but if they get wounded or something, then they'll be rendered useless thereafter.
I don't know if this is anything you can fix, honestly. It might be deep-wired into the game?
Level 5 is the max cap on officers. So I would believe going of that messes with the hardcoded game mechanic.
So best to keep it at 5 max despite missing out on some skills. Think that is the point.
That's not true at all I've maxed all my officers out with every single perk. They are all level 7-8 depending on how many perks they have. Just don't mess with the EXP and all will run fine. Been playing through the campaign with no issues.

So what's the max level for the officers?
