Why wasn't this solution put in place back then? Are there problems with the design?

While I still think there are unhealthy side-effects of Full-RBF (like more doublespending at unknowing merchants, after years of FSS protection) I think discussion of this FSS-RBF feature is worth considering.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention, apologies for not being aware of it.

First-seen-safe replace-by-fee as detailed here https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-May/008248.html  by Peter Todd  seems to be a very suitable option and route which balances FullRBF while retaining  the significant 0-conf use case.

This would seem like a good way forward.
