I would design that workflow to act before the bins are full, not after. On high-occupancy flights, the crew should be actively watching for oversized bags, passengers loading far away from their rows, and early signs that one section of the cabin is running out of space faster than others.
The workflow should give crew a clear order of operations: verify whether the item can be stored safely at all, look for the nearest appropriate alternative, and move to gate-check or another approved solution early rather than after a long aisle debate. Passengers get much more frustrated when the decision happens late and publicly.
