 Disagree.

 If your product is a 4 way... no matter what evils you do to it when its mounted properly... it should always register as 4 way.
The level of quality of these homebrew corner cutting creations, is lacking.

 Microswitch based leafs, have always been a horrible idea.  If the user can bend the leafs.. what do you think can happen during aggressive play?   Combine that with the fact that many such leafs will cease to function properly if the leaf is distorted too much.  These leafs are not to be mistaken with true leafswitches.  Microswitch leafs are thin bendable tin or aluminum.  SS at best.   True leafswitch leafs are made from spring-steel.  Spring steel maintains its springing quality without distortion, for decades.

Disagreeing is fine, but you present no real options to solve the problem...

If you buy a perfectly standard JLW from Sanwa it will just reach 2 switches in 4-way mode.
Its easy to adjust if you are concerned about it, as mentioned above.
The levers on the microswitches dont bend at all in use, ever. The restrictor limits the travel before any pressure is applied to the lever other than the tiny pressure needed to close the switch. The levers are hinged at the switch end. There is no such thing as a "microswitch leaf".
The levers are not made from tin (which wold be crazy) or aluminium, they are zinc-plated steel.
There is nothing at all wrong with microswitch-based joysticks.
