Things that work out fine when only a few people are doing them might not work so out so well when a lot of people are doing them. See: the entire history of Internet security.

Sure but
1-The current solution is worse on this dimension.
2-Since Bitcoin Cash doesn't have replace-by-fee this is impractical for any small transaction.
3-Most of the situations that need to be immediate are small--with the large ones it makes sense to wait.
