I think behaviour like that (Leclerc on Hamilton) is now accepted as OK.
The Verstappen-Leclerc action at Austria certainly has its influence.

Personally I would have preferred the other option where drivers were obliged to give the other car a car's width of racing room (i.e. Verstappen's action on Leclerc would have been wrong, as would have been Lecler's on Hamilton) but I'm OK with this if they keep on being consistent.
Same on-track action, same (lack of) steward action.

Inconsistency would be the worst thing.
