Ideally they'd recline a small amount, given the lack of space available today. It was fine back when you had plenty of gap between them, but now that it is a cattle car, perhaps the deep recline should be more limited. Ultimately this is an airline created issue, and we are left to navigate it.

Like you said there are specific times when that seats are in specific positions. In all other times the reclined space is the person in the front seats space.
There is nothing to navigate here. If you wish to pay for more room pay for more room. That you are in a middle seat suggests that you did not want to pay for more room. An airline trip has become a commodity where you get exactly what you pay for and no more.
