With regards to the bolded part, that should be a situation where the AI would use a setup man or a closer (depending on the closer's usage setting). If you (and I don't mean you specifically) have a setup man who you don't want pitching in high leverage situations, you need to rethink your bullpen roles.
To the topic at whole, I think we need some hard data proving there's a problem with the avoid high leverage setting before we ask for new roles or altered coding. A lot of people have been playing OOTP for multiple years since that bullpen usage setting was added and I have not seen anyone else mention this until now. So I'm a bit skeptical that there's an issue that needs to be addressed.
