I said nothing about fair or unfair, but now that you started that: I think it is fairer than a FCY that disavantage a car that has not yet pitted.
Neither system is perfect, but I think a FCY for a single stopped car does a far worse job at keeping the gaps intact than any other system.

No workers on a hot track is driven by safety and, more importantly, insurance so I really don't think you will see an American series be able to try alternatives. Maybe code 60, but I think that would be a stretch. Having grown up with it, I guess I like it or am at least used to it.
That being said, when I watch F1 and Le Mans I really cringe when I see marshals on track during a local yellow. It was a contributing factor in the last death in F1. It's just a completely different culture that I'm not used to.
