I’m pretty sure that you are correct about the yellow card not being eligible for VAR. I think all yellows should be reviewable, maybe with a coaches’ challenge if there are just too many yellow cards.

I’m pretty sure that you are correct about the yellow card not being eligible for VAR. I think all yellows should be reviewable, maybe with a coaches’ challenge if there are just too many yellow cards. At a minimum, when a yellow card leads to a red card and an ejection (and a team playing shorthanded) that yellow needs to be reviewed. The result is the same as a straight red card, which can be reviewed.
I agree with you, but it has been this way for years and I don't see it stopping.
Most yellow card infractions are subjective "in the opinion of the referee" as are many reds (DOGSO for example).
Review is fairly pointless if the CR is going to maintain his opinion that any arm to head contact is reckless (or even that it was in this case and no matter how many TV replays you see you are not going to change that subjective opinion made in the moment).
It is true that 2 yellows is definitely a catch-22 to the idea that VAR will fix bad calls, because it can't fix most yellow offenses.
