IMO, the only way to fix this is to either use the slow zones (even if whole timing and scoring sectors have to placed under yellow), or close the pits for at least the first laps under FCY and limit service under those times to emergencies only.
Or you can make it so that everyone more or less has to pit at the same time, but that's playing the BOP card and another can of worms all together. And yes, I do feel that the system has been overused in the sprint races to deal with small accidents. But then again, this whole mess wouldn't have happened if F1 drivers would respond the way that they're supposed to under local yellows.
