How can your solution can be applied to the above examples?

IIUC the way to avoid these things is using the Dynamics layer.

Another way is to use a function that moves all the pedal items to the lower staff, which is not a limitation. I implemented it, meanwhile, in my EasyCrossStaff template. Ugly Scheme code (sorry: I'm not a Scheme programmer and hope someone could clean the code) but it seems to work well (I've used it a lot)
