Echoed Conditional Displacement (ECD) gates constitute a fundamental building block for quantum control of harmonic oscillator modes. However, bit-flips of the auxiliary qubit remain a dominant error mechanism for this kind of bosonic control. In this work, we present a numerical case study of a bit-flip protected fluxonium operating as the control qubit and numerically implement ECD gates in a single-mode resonator-fluxonium device, demonstrating that fidelities exceeding 99.9% are possible. We systematically investigate the resonator dynamics using a combination of semiclassical trajectories and master equation simulations, numerically revealing asymptotic saturation of the dispersive shift in the strongly driven regime of the resonator. We develop an efficient technique to numerically simulate the strongly driven regime of the resonator using a semiclassical formulation that maps the full perturbation series in the dispersive expansion as order-by-order frequency shifts. This provides a compact polynomial description of the resonator which is intuitive and remains valid throughout the dispersive regime. Furthermore, we propose an improved ECD sequence that accounts for the effects of photon loss and spurious nonlinear terms on resonator trajectories.
