Sounds an excellent idea for occasional need. Is this a standard German practice? Can we/should we import it?

If its close enough to call, then why not.
Totally and utterly disagree with you about reds in sequence though....they should all be deployed simultaneously...a red is usually thrown because of a dangerous situation (usually a Driver in a vulnerable postion).....a lack of indication immediately following the Start/Finish line or around the reason for the red in the first place, could lead to an incident caused by someone not seeing a red.
Don't forget...you can have a field spread out on most of the track sometimes.
