Yes, it would be good to add workarounds based on the usage a "workarounds" flag we've been adding to scripts on a case-by-case basis.

For example, in rf_bios_settings.py:

argget.add_argument( "--workaround", "-workaround", action = "store_true", help = "Indicates if workarounds should be attempted for non-conformant services", default = False )

And later it sets a flag in the module to enable workaround logic:

if args.workaround:
    redfish_utilities.config.__workarounds__ = True

And later, when workarounds are triggered, it shows warning messages about it, like this:

warnings.warn( "System '{}' BIOS resource contains the settings term, but no 'SettingsObject'.  Contact your vendor.  Workarounds exhausted for reading the settings data and falling back on using the active attributes.".format( system_id ) )

The reason for this is because we really want to encourage vendors to implement the correct behavior, but at the same time realize that users need to get some task done regardless of how a service behaves.
