Again hmmmmmm...

The judgments you mention, of course.
In this OP, that is already done and presented.
Even in your last question, time and distance are not the only factors, also physical position of the runner, more OBS, etc.
Still, the rule is OBS gets
all runners the base they are judged to would have achieved without it; given the listed exceptions.
The only problem here is R1 never touching home after the fact and leaving live ball territory. It does not matter if the touch is during live ball or dead ball, or before or after R2.
The question then becomes about "opportunity to complete baserunning responsibilities" regarding the appeal. Does the opportunity remain until R1 leaves live ball territory?
