Ulkomaalainen
This trope is somewhat ill defined in my opinion. Already the definition of problems of different impact (broken nail/terminal cancer) doesn't fit the archetypical bacon/eggs joke. So which one should it be?
If nobody objects, I'm going to swoop in and perform major surgery on this article some time in the near future...

With what scope?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
Yes, people's objections will depend heavily on what the surgery is. If you're going to remove an inflamed appendix, great. If you're going to graft a baby's arm onto its forehead, much less so.

i feel like the bulk of this article's content doesn't match either the page title or the first couple paragraphs of the article intro.
"Asymmetric dilemma" makes me think it's going to be about someone who can't decide between two "bad" choices, except that one of them is very obviously not bad at all, as in What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous? — and the first couple paragraphs suggest this is indeed what the trope is about.
But that's rather different from "If we had jelly, we could do peanut butter and jelly, if we had peanut butter", which isn't really a "dilemma" at all (but is the form most of these examples take). What's going on here?

I agree. The examples seem to correspond to several different tropes.
