Yup. I really do think it might be an intractable problem, in terms of fixing it on the user end. I haven’t had a chance to dig into the interface much more, so I still can’t rule out the possibility that Steam could lie to the game and identify the left controller as the right controller, and vice versa…but there really isn’t anything that could ever be done about flipped hand models, guns, etc.

Since devs will always have to fix that stuff, it truly would just be easier to have a single “left handed mode” checkbox, in the settings for all games. For that matter, many VR games ask you about your dominant hand, when you run them for the first time, and set the setting at that point. That should just be considered a standard practice.
