well.. not really any more.
gramine and hordenine, it was found, are not responsible for sheep's staggers, and are probably not very dangerous to human health (especially in such small doses as you would take when smoking dmt). and endlessness did some testing and found gramine was virtually insoluble in naphtha, and only negligibly soluble in limonene (it was presumed that hordenine has similar solubility, though afaik it hasn't been explicitly tested).
the problem is the alkaloid content of phalaris is so darned variable, that unless you can TLC your extract yourself, or you grow a clone of phalaris that has been tested, there is just no way to know what is in your extract (could be DMT, 5-meo-dmt, 5-meo-nmt, or a whole other cocktail of alkaloids, and dmt presence is not guarunteed)
so that is the hang-up with phalaris, so you can:
A. should grow a clone (presumably the chemotype is the same, so the alkaloid profile will be similar if not identical to the tested specimen
B. should TLC your own extracts
C. not use phalaris
