Whilst I agree in principal in what you say it would be really difficult to police effectively as some reviews may take longer than others and there could have been several PTB's before the VR has had a proper look and a try may have been scored in the mean time, so where do you bring it back to, what if the non offending team intercepts a pass and goes the length of the field and scores, do you deny them a try to bring it back 70m for a penalty, the restart would potentially be a nightmare for refs to decide upon.
Like you say player welfare has to trump everything else, especially with the law suit cases going on at the moment, but there is no one fit for it.
Very delayed reply here but I would say if the ref doesn't spot it at the time and it goes to a review, then the chance for a penalty is lost as the game can't be brought back. The review would just be to dole out any warranted punishment to the offending player
