Not a counter example, but a legit question in spirit since autonomy vs human will always be a reasonable choice for some parts of a system. I just don't think real-time control of a system that's never been flown by humans is a good example of where that choice is hard. You can describe it with equations, solutions are well understood, there's no available humans that can do it, there's a well-understood need because fly by wire was necessitated to control some aircraft, and will be necessary to control more air/spacecraft in the future. Classic computer problem.
(But I'm guessing Starship will have human controllers in/on the loop to do interventions before or during landing if required.)
Doctor diagnosis is a good example of when that choice is hard to make. Hard to describe with equations, hard to model, not a well-understood need since professional doctors exist, decades of experience has been accumulated, huge swaths of industry are dedicated to helping doctors, etc etc.
What I meant by "Allow the human to focus" definitely should be interpreted to mean removing small, multi-dimensional, fast, annoying things like real-time stabilization during landing.
