It’ll only be longer if there is a longer tidy up to do like barrier repaired. It is only shorter if they’ve had another FCY within the last 30 minutes or they are in the last 30 minutes of the race
FCY periods are pretty much always the same length.

You're contradicting yourself somewhat. There are 2 versions of FCY: the standard one and the short one. Difference is pits staying closed for the shorter version. As you described short ones are only applied if a previous FCY was less than 30 minutes prior + during last 30 mins of a race. Time difference between the 2 versions is around 10 mins.
I'm in favor of dropping the standard version and applying the short one for every FCY. Pits closed every time. The occasional fuel victim does not outweigh the substantial amount of green racing time gained.
