Thanks for such a powerful speech (someone who wasn't there really missed out)
Just a small hosofa on the words Rabbi Jacobson quoted from the Chidushei Hari"m ,the Pnei Menachem quotes this chidushei hari"m in the Torah of shabbos tshuva and added on the following,
When talking of gashmios everyone understands that they should be first chyacho kodmin but by ruchnios people are always busy correcting others ,
Says the Pnei Menachem by ruchnios al achas kamo vkamo that it should be chyacho kodmin like the gemorah says kshot atzmaco tchilo correct yourself first and afterwards you could be busy correcting others. Thanks Yisroel Feldman

Under normal circumstances there are total Talmudic disputes where there are bright line differences of opinion.
However, in this case, there is no dispute as even רבי עקיבא נ believes that our thoughts should go in the direction of not being able to witness the demise of a fellow Jew.
And therefore, it is only after (and because) that he ruled that the person has to preserve his own life, that we are permitted (or in fact obligated) to follow his ruling.
However, absent that, and even after that (on a moral/ethical/spiritual level we are not supposed to witness the demise of a fellow Jew.
I do not believe that this is inconsistent with what you were trying to say.
