Default Least painless way to root a D2 on 2.3.3

Which current root methods work on a D2 running Android 2.3.3?

Looking at the CM tutorial: Motorola Droid 2: Full Update Guide - CyanogenMod Wiki, I need to downgrade my phone to 2.3.20 to root the phone. The issue is that I would not like to lose all my Apps and their settings.

Unfortunately, it seems TI Backup requires root to work, so I'm stuck in sort of a chicken and the egg situation.
