As addressed in the FAQ, AGPL doesn't satisfy many requirements -- one of which is that it's often too restrictive in the wrong ways. If not the Commons Clause, a very viable "v2" is just to draft a more cohesive source-available license, or in the worst case move the project to closed source.

Using the "Commons Clause" is already effectively making it closed source... at best that's equivalent to "Source Available". Just use the MS Commons Research License or whatever it was called. This "OSS License + garbage extensions" stuff is nonsense.
