PNAS has switched to CC BY-NC-ND:

Except for open access articles submitted beginning September 2017, authors retain copyright, but grant to PNAS an exclusive License to Publish.

For such open access articles, NAS retains a nonexclusive License to Publish, and these articles are distributed under a CC BY-NC-ND license.

openAIRE (Europe) suggests CC licenses https://www.openaire.eu/openaire-licensing-study

All CCPL combinations also guarantee proper attribution of the author, in application of the mandatory “Attribution” license element; the No‐Derivative license element allows the author to permit only verbatim redistributions of the work

The Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association https://oaspa.org/information-resources/frequently-asked-questions/ suggests CC BY and disallows CC BY-NC-ND:

Why doesn’t OASPA allow CC-BY-SA or CC-BY-NC-ND licenses?

CC-BY-NC-ND: No Derivatives. Derived use is fundamental to the way in which scholarly research builds on what has gone before. One of the many benefits of open access publishing is that elements such as figures from a published research article can be reused, with attribution, as part of teaching material, or in other published works, without needing to request permission of the publisher. Similarly, article translations, image libraries, case report databases, text-mining enhancements and data visualisations are all examples of how additional value can be created by allowing derivative use.

I have seen articles where the article is under an overall more restrictive license than elements, such as figures, graphs, tables, etc. Not sure that's desirable.

Some relevant discussion: http://openaccess.ox.ac.uk/2013/06/13/cc-by-what-does-it-mean-for-scholarly-articles-3/

For example, CC BY-NC prohibits someone from using a figure or table from your paper on any website (even a scholarly blog) that carries advertisements. Since the definition of non-commercial is ambiguous, the CC BY-NC licence can therefore lead to confusion.

Allowing derivative works, as CC BY does, opens up new ways of representing scholarly articles through text-mining and visualization techniques. It also allows an article to be translated into other languages and into Braille. Another benefit is that you can compile ’bespoke’ textbooks for your students by bundling your own ‘CC BY’ papers together with other ‘CC BY’ papers

I actually disagree with that. Translations - with permission of the author! - are always possible, just not blanket approval. And the author retains all rights - including to re-use own material - this does not require CC BY.

all modifications to material they cover should not ‘be prejudicial to the Original Author’s honor or reputation’ (http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Frequently_Asked_Questions).

How to enforce ex-post?

making a paper Open Access without the CC BY licence, or with a more restrictive type of Creative Commons licence (e.g. CC BY-ND or CC BY-NC), may mean that a reader must still obtain your specific permission to adapt the work and/or use it for commercial purposes.

That might be a good thing.
