In v1.004, 尺 in TW is unified with CN. However, in v2.000, the difference is introduced with the addition of HK variant.

v2.000:
Consulting official documentations will find that the Taiwan education reference does not mention any requirements for 尺, and in Hong Kong Reference Glyphs it is viewed as a design difference, not a required standard.
The current design is very imbalanced with a notable empty space at the right and visual dark spot (joints) on the left.
I think there is no need to create a separate set of glyphs for characters with the 尺 components for HK.
Strictly speaking, this HK version of 尺 also matches Taiwan's MoE standard. Since SHS didn't use a separate set of glyphs for TW in the first place, I believe there's no need to do so for HK.
As mentioned in the HK Reference Glyph document (P.8), shifting the "㇏" stroke a little bit is seen as a design difference, not a violation of the standard (it's not a standard, but you get me. Not sure how to call it accurately). The document uses 尺 and 家 as examples.
SHS didn't create a separate glyph set for characters containing "家" for HK.
For some glyphs like 咫, 沢, 蚇 and 駅 the differences are small at heavier weights.
This HK version may look nice in script form, but the JP/CN version definitely look better for serif and sans-serif fonts.
Therefore I suggest to remove the HK-specific glyphs for characters with the 尺 components, and use the JP/CN version (where appropriate) instead.

Removing this unnecessary difference will save 8 glyphs.
