I just used Autoloader to include a custom LEVELOFDETAILMODE system variable, and so far, it works great.
I've already found that I also want OBJECTVIEWER accounted for, so there may be other Commands not mentioned here that would benefit, in kind.
With this issue only applying to legacy versions (fixed in new versions), just reach out if you'd like help with the code described above.
Cheers
