At the end of the day, what do you want, safety cars that control the pace, or a red flag that stops the race? If you red flag the race then you have problems with cars getting cold, and then have to run a few laps behind the safety car anyway just for safety!
Some other endurance series run a thing called Code 60 where everyone has to run at 60kph, not really feasable at this level I don't think, although readily controllabled using something like the pit lane spead limiter mI would have thought.
Safety cars may not be perfect but it's not a bad solution, it's just the way they are deployed that can be the issue.
