Good point.

Forcing the level of the heading is not a good idea, because it can
badly alter the structure of the document (e.g., you are refiling under
"A", but the task ends up being a grandson).

Maybe we need a more general mechanism to refile "at" instead of
refiling "within", i.e., a mechanism to refile just before a given
headline, at its very same level, which could be a toggle when calling
org-refile.

Maybe this is overkill, tho.
