No reason to cut out the active recovery time (either by ignoring it or not riding it). It's still training stress, so it's best if it's accounted for when considering ATL and CTL. Of course, there's not much training benefit to AR, so you might look into bumping it up into the endurance zone for those commutes and cafe rides. Depends on your overall load though.
Regarding the VO2Max note, if that's not one of your race limiters, then I wouldn't worry about it. I don't have WKO in front of me, but 7.4% sounds like a lot. 20.6% for AC just has to be wrong. Are you sure you have your FTP set correctly?
