I'm not sure about that. An early whistle kills the play, regardless of level.

It’s in the rules posted above.

It’s literally the following scenario as well which happens quite often...QB throws a hitch to WR in boundary that goes backwards...WR drops it, whistle blows but defense recovers on continuation of play...Goes to review and defensive team is awarded ball.

It’s literally the same scenario. It’s reviewed all the time. Whistles also blow on fumbles in games with replay all the time. Defense is awarded the ball. Officials will save face at times by saying forward progress was stopped on a RB fumble.
