I think the most reasonable rule is one button for every input and one input for every button.

You can't really disable/ban mirror because you could just flip your monitor upside down (or horizontally using software) and rearrange the key bindings. Likewise you could just bind the AKSL keys for left, up, down, right to simulate the Left or Right mod.

Or you could use the arrow keys and the placement of your left and right hands' index fingers on the up and down keys would determine which trills would be one-handed. It'd be hard to argue playing like that is cheating any more than using your index and ring finger is cheating rather than index and middle finger.

The thing is, I don't think any of these things alter the chart. Charts have a sequence of notes in a certain order. Whether you hit 1234 with ASKL, AKSL, <v^>, or <^v>, you're playing the chart as it is. Each of the numbers just has to correspond with the same input for the duration of the chart, so of the things you listed, only randomizing alters this.
