Unfortunately the US doesn't work on that legal standard, though I think that's a nice approach.

In practice, almost no third parties submit prior art, which is a lot simpler than submitting solutions. So I doubt people will submit any significant amount of solutions.

If there was a forum like HN where every post was a patent-problem, I would be happy to participate in the discussions about possible solutions, on a daily basis.

Until the legal standards change, look into submitting prior art. The examiner and public will appreciate it.
