I understand the issue of complexity in header compression but the impression I get is you seem to object to the whole basis of HTTP/2 seemingly because it's not ambitious enough.

If it didn't have HPACK but still did multiplexing would you still say abandon it?

It's a tradeoff: The added complexity must provide sufficient benefit to be worth it. HTTP/2.0 doesn't IMO, not even close.
