My daily driver, a now 20 year old 9000 just turned 225k miles. I fully expect it to do another 225k!
The easiest fix for the balance chain issue on 9000s is to simply remove it. It's a whole subsystem only there to counter vibrations for smoother engine operation. This speaks to your point about over-engineering, but is also an illustration of the kind of design that makes the car feel so good.
