Update: The stewards have said they had 1,200 reports of track limit infringements to review. They sound as frustrated about them as we do. At the end of their statement they said something like, “As we have in the past, we recommend this track add gravel or grass on turns 9 and 10.”
No race should be decided by these numbers of infringements, so definitely something that should be addressed. At the same time I am reasonably positive about the actual outcome: There were a handful of drivers that clearly did get the memo and barely (or never) crossed the track limits. They were justly rewarded.

It was farcical, and yet still enjoyable. I bet next year they will have a strip of gravel around turns 9 and 10.
I’d love to see more gravel at just about every circuit.
