"By and large, we see that combat ability scores are the ones that can more easily "break" the game than non-combat ability scores."

This is something that every DM should deal with once it rears its ugly dhead. If the entire party is designed as nothing more than a death-dealing machine, then place them in a fancy-dress ballroom where they have to figure out who the murderer is, using only their charm, guile and wit.

If they didn't take points in those sorts of things, then spank them accordingly.

PC's should always be aware that their DM might pull an "Agatha Christie" sequence (if not campaign) on them at any moment, and pull back on their min/max character imbalance instincts as appropriate.

Simple enough, if you're the GM:

Any racial combination that you feel get too much positive balance, make everyone in your campaign world prejudiced against. Then make actually dealing with people in your campaign world a necessary plot development.

There's no unfair benefit that a DM can't balance merely by adjusting how their world works.

This part is already doable with only Paizo rules.

The Paizo system is designed to be compatible with all existing D20 products. So the issue still persists.
