I think best solution is the GM make an exclusive map strictly just for homun leveling. The not wanting to monitor your character 16 hours argument doesn't seem to hold water to me. I could say I don't want to grind 16 hours straight for some card, so it's suddenly ok for me to AFK and bot? Maybe only level your homun 1-2 hour a day while you're at the screen?
My issue with homun AFKer is that they make the map unplayable by other players. There are oversupply of AFKer during this month event. If you look at Orc Dungeon1, they are pretty much the only place you can level from 41-70 quickly and effectively, instead of relying on bot-farmed blossoms. The million AFKer(s) in there are stealing a bunch of mobs, and worst, they don't even kill them off quickly. Every time you try to mob something, it just spread out into a bunch of stray homun. It's just about as frustrating as playing with the army of bots on the poison spore map. I would be ok if it's actual player leveling, because they will eventually leave after 1-2 hours, but these AFKer(s) are camping nights and days, locking the map 24/7. Imagine low TI map with these homun AFKer(s) camping every area of the map. Impossible to level.
And griefing, if you're AFK, you're likely getting grief. They could just disable those soul linker skills, but there are so many way you can interrupt AFKer. Like maybe thron wall and push them into a warp portal? The list goes on and on. I see so many merchant eden 2F getting thorn wall grief and nothing ever gets done about it.
Since you're AFKing leveling anyways, I see so many Genticists use bot. Some even auto-cast cart boost while AFK lol. You could just auto tele once you get more than 500 damage hit, and just walk back to the lock coordinate. Nobody can ever grief you this way. It's very very hard to proof that you're botting while AFK homun. I filed millions report and they are still there "AFKing" while keep their cart boost up 24/7.
