  Trudeau backing off on unilateral patriation had nothing to do with FPTP.  Under FPTP, the majority of seats with a minority of votes allowed Trudeau full power to act unilaterally. Trudeau even  invoked closure in the House.

It was provincial premiers who represented the opposition force and who ultimately negotiated the consensus. The House of Commons was just a by-stander on such an important issue.
