Guiding laplacians to restore clipped highlights

I have the same difficulties especially with larger areas where all three channels are clipped.
Here is the demonstration:

This is how the scene looks with a correctly exposed photo:

Here is an overexposed one with corresponding intication:

This is how it looks without highlight reconstruction:

Highlight reconstruction with LCh.
The overexposed area of the wall under the windows is too bluish but overall relatively good reconstruction:

Reconstruction with guided laplatians all values at maximum:

Note that we still have magenta on the wall.

Guided laplatians on maximum and reconstruction in Filmic. This is the best I could do with it:

Reconstruction is a little better if internal iterations in Filmic are set to 0:

At higher values the color of the frame bleeds into the wall I guess. The color of the framework confuses the results, since it is very close to magenta:

I get the best results in this case as a combination of reconstruction in LCh and Filmic:

Here is the file if you want to try it yourself:

Edit:

I just did another test, and the best result with Guided laplatians in combination with Filmic is now this:

For Guided laplatians I chose default settings again.
