Is Teleportation incompatible with fighting in UI? (Plus diffs in UI ki blast usage btwn anime/manga?)

In both the anime & manga, there seems to be an unsaid rule that UI Goku can't use Instant Transmission or Teleportation during combat in the state. Was wondering if it would take too much out of his mindset to do so, though we know that at least in the manga he can fly while in UI (albeit maybe with some limitations as he didn't dodge all of Moro's planet arms), and he did teleport to Krillin from Moro & back to retrieve the Senzu pouch (I think, or he just moved really fast between them).

Side note: anime UI Goku seems pretty free to shoot big ki blasts & such (punctuated by the climactic Kamehameha he fires at Jiren in ep 130, plus the mini Kamehamehas/ki balls he has on his boots to leap on & around Jiren's blasts) but manga UI Goku seemingly primarily uses martial combat with him only once using a Kamehameha in the ToP (& in a vol cover). Could be mistaken, but seemed like a neat observation.
