Too far? I don't think so.
You cannot just place a black and white ban on unclear written rules. Or where the rules oversights. Since the regulation did not say you cannot remap the throttle and torque delivery relationship under 100%. Which mean it is ok.
This is more of the FIA saying "oh cock, how did we forget that". Then ok, here's the amendment. That's what technical working group is for.
These things happens every single year to nearly all the top teams. Mass Damper, DDD, F-Duct, Mercedes DRS-F-Duct, Exhaust blown diffusor, etc etc.
With the given rule and varies interpretation, teams constantly ask the Stewards for clarification. Of course not giving away all the intellectual pieces.
