Rather complicated for it to account for "a lot" of dups.

And such simplistic re-submit is caught by simplistic protections. It isn't hard to thwart the simplistic detection due to races. But your scenario introduces extra time which makes it less likely to be able to produce an actual dup.

Update: I even re-submitted this reply just to verify that the simplistic detection was working. I indeed got sent to Duplicate Post Warning.

You can further complicate your scenario by adding extra "edit" (and possibly "preview") step(s) after going "Back" and before hitting "Create" again and then it results in near-duplicate nodes. But it also makes it even less likely to account for "a lot" of them.
