ccNSO, perhaps?

My advice would be to only enforce checks where violations would
negatively impact operations (e.g. disallow lame delegation setups),
and not enforce pure "dotting the i's and crossing the t's"
requirements where doing so contributes minimal to no improvement
operationally.

Yup.

I personally think that if a ccTLD insists on non-lame delegations at
the time of registration or update, I would not object.

There's of course always the option of doing your own dirty work in a
child zone of your own properly delegated and operational domain.
