To be honest, the best part isn't the proof, it's the editor's note from Dyson.

(Not a physicist) So what's the result of applying Feynman's axioms to the analysis of whatever gedanken experiment that lead Einstein to special relativity? Does it further enlighten whatever paradox existed that required a resolution via special relativity?

That's right, that paragraph describes the mindset that guided Feynman in his pursuit and it is extremely valuable.
