If Team A is unable to get a play off after the reset, it would seem an unfair situation that Team B COULD have used. Admittedly, one could apply the "unfair acts" rule, but we shouldn't have to use that to keep the game fair.

You don't have to. Just invoke that timing provision that keeps time out until the snap after a team fouls to consume time.
