A good thing would be to make the OOM killer only kill processes that actually overcommit (independant of overcommit mode).
The first step would be adding a value in /proc/$pid/... somewhere that shows how much a process is overcommitted when overcommit is enabled. This would allow important processes to be fixed for all overcommit modes.
