Itīs possible to implement an electronic discharge control. The adoption of higher voltage (32 V) allows. I donīt know if it is being used. We will learn.
The traditional batteries are quite "fault tolerant" (charger included in this comment).
Itīs possible to implement this in the "analog world" but i also donīt think these approach is being used. May be should be considered to save the "wonderful but dangerous batteries" (When abused expel hot spray and even fire)
