I think officials actually have very wide latitude to make decisions with respect to how to penalize an unfair act

Rule 9-2-3-d; it's either that section or 9-3-2-d....I'm going off memory and may have transposed the section numbers.

- but I don't think that makes sense (because it leads to irregular enforcement and penalties which are unfair to teams who receive more significant penalties).

It doesn't. To invoke that rule, the unfair act has to be so blatant it's obvious.

No official is going to make a medical call and say a player is faking an injury....it's not our job. We err on the side of caution and player safety; especially when it comes to observing symptoms of concussion.

It's up to the HC to hold his players accountable to ethical standards.
