Nice to hear from you mate!

All of these arguments have been made for a year.

Returning to a true 50:50 system that meaningfully recognizes the essential and valuable role of curators would increase curation rewards by about 4x

Exactly and that is really important for the system to function correctly. The current imbalance (writing vs curation) means it is just not worth it for most people. So we have more and more people writing and fewer and fewer curating.

I don't see what the barrier is to at least trialling it.
