Unlimited vacation is, like you said, dependent on social cues.

Plenty of places with unlimited vacation cue or even pressure employees to take a minimum amount of vacation.

How much vacation you have is how much the company is required to pay out as earned income when you separate from the org. Anything else is generosity that can be rescinded without notice or recourse.

Yes, this is extremely easily solved. We have unlimited holiday, but you must take off at least 28 days (the statutory minimum in the UK).
