CDT surgery is pretty effective most of the time, but the OP describes some of its limitations. I’m confused—are you just claiming it is effective most of the time or that we shouldn’t worry too much about these limitations?
Surgery being performed on the algorithm (more carefully, on the computation specified by the algorithm) rather than on instances in the world is the detail that makes the usual problems with CDT go away, including the issues discussed in the post.
