Sorry that I can't answer your question in detail. I was listening to a podcast (maybe NPR or maybe some other interviews), the reason Apollo style program isn't used anymore is because it's not sustainable. I didn't understand the technical detail to give you a good answer.

Not having multiple options is not what made Appollo unsustainable.

And it wasn't actually unsustainable, it just wasn't sustainable while at the same time building shuttle.
