To clarify, when you have

* Heading

#+begin_comment
* Lorem ipsum
#+end_comment

it is not seen by Org as comment block.
Instead, what Org "sees" is

<begin heading 1>
* Heading

<begin paragraph>
#+begin_comment
<end paragraph>
<end heading 1>
<begin heading 2>
* Lorem ipsum

<begin paragraph>
#+end_comment
<end paragraph>
<end heading 2>

Headline markup has the top priority all the times.

Yup. Probably, we can make org-insert-structure-template more smart and
remove the block when user selects the same block as the existing one.
It should be controlled by defcustom though (t nil 'ask). Wrapping a
comment block inside comment block can be a valid use case.

Best,
