Hi Eric,
I agree that deep-reorg BIP30 handling is not important. Although it _is_ an interesting exercise which helps to better understand consensus code. I think people got distracted a bit by recent drama.
The Bitcoin Core project "decided" many years ago to not prioritise the graceful handling of extremely deep reorgs. You already stated your disagreement with that approach back then. The dropping of checkpoints is a continuation of that.
The only thing that would motivate me to bring back checkpoints (i.e. undo the PR that dropped them) is an attack that doesn't involve alien technology.
At the same time I don't object to, and might even review, changes that:
1. are simple enough, like Solution C earlier in the thread; or
2. someone writes a thorough BIP that goes though all the ways different (versions of) implementations handle extreme reorgs, and comes up with simple mitigations that make the handling consistent
As long as they don't bring checkpoints back. I think they've outlived their usefulness as consensus training wheels and now they're just an invitation for legal attacks (or future developer laziness).
