Regarding this part:

on a case by case basis on the template-based phrasal approach.

This really depends on how you operationalize the notion of a "construction". Fillmore's 1988 paper ("Mechanisms of Construction Grammar") states that constructions may overlap, which is repeated in Adele's Surface Generalization Hypothesis. You basically can have a construction that does everything that a lexical rule would do and capture the same generalization. In the most trivial sense, you get a mere notational variation between a lexical rule or a construction, but see the aforementioned Goldberg (2013) article for where the two approaches would differ.

Yes, I know this and I know Adele's work on this topic. HPSG's lexical rules are constructions. They are unary branching rules. In SBCG they are named constructions to make the parallel more clear. Note that I do not argue against constructions or Construction Grammar. Adele calls HPSG's and BCG's and SBCG's lexical rules lexical templates and states that they are sort of OK, only the true lexical rules in Jackendoff's sense (1975) are bad ... As for notational variation, I wrote this in my 2006 Language paper. In principle things are translatable between phrasal and lexical constructions but there are some points where the phrasal approaches fail. I discuss some of the problematic aspects in this book. As for overlap: The question is how you organize this. What I am saying here is that inheritance will not help you here. Croft, William. 2003. Lexical Rules vs. Constructions: A False Dichotomy.
