Certainly unsafe pit releases are at the stewards discretion and it depends what happens. Obviously default penalties work if used. And I can’t think of many occasions when flexibility has been needed

Maybe this is obvious, but I think a core issue is that offenses (or potential ones) fit on a scale that ranges from...
Highly Objective ...... High Subjective
For example a wheel that is not connected and falls off the car before leaving the pit... Hard to say that is anything but highly objective. The wheel either did or did not fall off!
Did someone make too an extra move in the braking zone. That can be very subjective at times. Extensive examination of data (video, telemetry) are attempts to convert the subjective to objective. But even then I expect there is always a subjective element of the analysis.
