yeah, that's a problem in a lot of stories - the little personal screw-ups are always overplayed in comparison to a large body of equally bad stuff that's already known.

The big problem is that the show is has to keep them alive when there's no way it would happen in "real life" (you know, if superheroes were real and all that).
So you have to get a little contrived because the other end of the spectrum is that if they're super-defended against the supes there's no danger or drama. That requires interactions and close calls and close escapes. There's just not a lot of great ways to do it.
I wish they had some better "outs" too though.

They should stick to the close encounters, like with Stormfront at the facility. If she finds them they're dead, but they manage to go undetected. That obviously shouldn't work with Homelander, since he has super hearing and can see through walls.
A Train should definitely have snitched on Starlight by now. Homelander already knows about Popclaw doesn't he? If not, he certainly wouldn't care.

That confuses me too, I mean the supes have killed tons of people and that doesn't seem to weigh heavily on the public. In one episode we did see Maeve and Homelander stage the crime scene to make it look like the criminal fired first to justify deadly force, but for the most part the fact that people die when the supes are involved seems like something that is "accepted" in this universe.
So, what if A-Train killed Pop Claw? Does that really move the needle much? Couldn't A-Train just counter that he had no choice because he saw the video of her killing her landlord and swing the narrative into taking down a rogue supe?
In my opinion, if they really wanted to blackmail A-Train, the juicier material was the tape Butcher had of A-Train laughing about killing Robin and the info about there being no robbery in progress at the time of the crime.
But again, blackmail is so ubiquitous in this show that almost every one has something on someone at this point or is working on getting something.
