What Sins should constitute blood atonement and not just be mortal sins?
So far I believe abortion, adultery, murder, rape, incest, miscegenation should fall into this category.
What penance should be made for other sins?
What is this you call a mortal sin?
Romans tells us
>The wages of sin is death
And
>All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Doesn't this speak to equality of all sin in God's eyes?

A mortal sin is a sin that will condemn you to hell if unforgiven
There are venial sins, mortal sins, original sin, ancestral sin, and eternal sin.

I'm seeking to hear your justification of the doctrine because I'm confident it isn't scripturally supported
There isn't a clause to Romans 6:23, all sin deserves death and requires Jesus' sacrifice for forgiveness. To say there is sin not damning is downplaying the necessity of Christ.

Multiple passages make it clear there are more severe levels of sin.
Matthew 12:30-32: "Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy. But the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
Mark 3:28-30: "Truly I tell you, all sins and blasphemes will be forgiven for the sons of men. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin. He said this because they [the Pharisees] were saying, ‘He has an evil spirit’."
The church outlined types of sin though various theological debates and declarations of the pope.

The Romanist church was and is wrong
Blasphemy against the spirit is unbelief, from which you can't ask forgiveness

1 John 5:16-17New Living Translation (NLT)
16 If you see a fellow believer[a] sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it. 17 All wicked actions are sin, but not every sin leads to death.
This is one of the passages the church uses to justify the categorization of sins and the existence of venial sin in the catechism

Those who judge others get their tongues cut out.
