It depends whether you take the view that other pit crews were put in danger.
If you would have been happy to be standing next to it, you don't feel anyone was put in danger, and that's one view.
But if not, these guys should not be putting other pit crews at risk - and the debate is not whether anyone should be penalised, but who was responsible and what should be the penalty.
My own view is that i) both drivers are at fault - in line with the ruling, and ii) possibly the Maclaren pit crew also contributed with ill judged release. iii) a reprimand is insufficient because of the possible consequences to other pit crews.
If you really like hard racing in the pit lane, let's throw away the speed limit - are you really in favour of that ?
