The problem I have with it is one driver pits a lap or two before SC or VSC or Red Flag. They get penalized, especially on Red Flag, when all competitors get to change tires without having a 20+ second pit stop and remain in their position above the unlucky sod that pitted under green flag.

This break has really sucked. I've been pretty ambivalent recently about the races and this isn't helping.
Yea, every red flag is long enough to inspect the tires carefully. If indeed they find damage, they can change tires with the identical tire, so they still have to come in for a pit stop during the race. There has to be a better system than the red flag lottery of free tire changes. And there should be 100% no adjustment to the aero setting. Anything that can't be done without a pit stop is forbidden.
