This kinda goes into the practicality of home releases vs airing release, where typing home releases are of greater quality, but I'd argue that this goes beyond that.
If the mods don’t give a separate entry to Re:ZERO Director’s Cut which fundamentally changes how the series is viewed due to combining episodes, adding changes, and amending the ending, then I dint think they’ll make 2.22 its own entry.
The two versions of Macross Plus are more similar to the distinction between 2.0 and 2.222 but they don’t have their own entries, either.
are you talking about the Macross Plus English dub vs the original OVAs or the OVAs vs the movie?
The OVAS vs. the movie.

they do have separate entries though, or am I misunderstanding what you're saying
I believe this post was made before our criteria for recuts was posted, but here you go:
https://submission-manual.anilist.co/criteria.html#recuts
A movie that has, at least, an additional 10 minutes of runtime.
on Wikipedia, 2.0 is listed with 108分
and 2.22 listed with 111分49秒,
so unfortunately an extra couple mins does not meet our 10 min cutoff requirement for movies.
Same with 1.0 vs. 1.01 vs. 1.11, 3.0 vs. 3.33 vs. 3.333, all of the Death edits, nor the Directors Cuts of eps 21-24 for the episode criteria
Recaps are only to be added if they are a recap movie from a TV/TV Shorts/OVA/ONA series.
but there are 20 extra mins of animation so it would also count under our recut criteria
