Not an argument, a discussion. Doesn't your first sentence contradict your second sentence, about the contrast and depth perception? Have some amber coloured cycling glasses that are useless but the yellow bolle (H&S, not fashion) glasses work well well while driving on unlit roads.
This seems to agree that yellow glasses help blue light effecting sleep https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20030543/
Know that it is one random group, but does bring up some interesting points.

Just going on my experience.
Pros:
- reduced harshness of glare
Cons:
- reduced vision
My motorbike commute used to run the full gambit of roads so I didn't think it was worth having any reduction in vision. Also my clear visor has a photochromic pinlock which takes a bit of the edge of, but results in some distortion. However, that balances out as a net gaim whereas the glasses were a net loss.
- reduced harshness of glare
Shooters use yellow tinted glasses to improve contrast and depth perception and to filter UV from sunlight. They are also useful in whiteout conditions or flat light conditions in the snow.
From what I have read, there is no evidence that yellow tinted lenses help people driving in the dark or under artificial light.
