Your views coincide heavily with mine on this topic.
I would only object that e.g. driving on the same side of the street as everyone else [1] because everyone else drives on that side is not a case of engaging in a practise “simply on the basis that others” engage in the practise, but to avoid catastrophic failure. If the street system’s usage factor were on the order of parts per billion, and agents had a preference for not being confined to one side, it would be “okay” [2] to drive as one pleases and simply adjust in the rare case of seeing another user.
[1] assuming I correctly understand this to be a reference to two-way conveyance-transmission systems in which changing chirality is impractical on short notice, and opposite chirality for two coincident conveyances is catastrophic
[2] i.e., non-detrimental to their terminal values
