Yes it was hugely transgressive. As was the nudity. John Cleese presenting the fake 6 o clock news wearing nothing but a bow tie, Gilliam playing the piano starkers.

I'd say there was a bit of kicking down. The gumbies and the three Yorkshireman a bit (that predates python, they brought it in with them, they'd written for something like "that was the week that was") mainly they kicked middle class values.
