+ what rong said
I mostly agree with #2 and #3, but I mostly disagree with #1. I think that these are great opportunities to work on getting back to normal, and I think that avoiding them for the sake of immediate EV hurts the EV of players in the long run.
I also think that with something like #2, it should be a very deliberate and well-defined thing if a player chooses to continue. Something like "okay, I'm playing really well and I'm very focused, so I'm going to play for another 30 minutes before I take a break."
I wouldn't blame people for skipping out on #2 if they had a scheduled break and planned to get back to the games later in the day or to do something else they enjoy.
