Yet these could introduce, new or overlooked problems

I was not aware of the cited Airbus article. It sums up the philosophical problem of surprising "unknowns" very well.

My take is that when we get caught up in such a situation it all happens very quickly and the risk is that our cognitive and hand-eye capabilities are overwhelmed and left behind the action at which point we tend to be along for the ride and part of the problem. Been there, frightened myself witless, with a changed outlook following.

Many have had similarly frightening experiences, think about it over an ale afterwards, and adopt a more conservative approach to the flight management problem as a mitigator.
