It seems that letting Townsend go for a cheaper alternative isn’t controversial.
I think a similar thought process applies to kickers. You can point to Butker and rightfully say the guy in nails going 7 for 7 on kicks over 50 yards in 2023, including playoffs. But plenty of kickers are reasonably accurate from 40 plus yards. Just trust your offense enough to gain the extra 10 yards to get within reliable FG range, rather than pay top $ for a kicker.

So you want to be in the same situation SF was in the super bowl and risk a missed PAT? You pay kickers, not punters.
