I believe you may be missing the overall points in the "Nail In the
Coffin" and "Temporary Discussion" sections. In summary:
1: Any UTXO spending a script with an expiration must be treated
similarly to Coinbase (I proposed a solution to this, but it's complex
and may have unforeseen implications).
2: All existing software assumes that a transaction once valid stays
valid. Any proposal to change this must ensure that existing wallets and
users aren't immediately open to being scammed by malicious actors
sending low fee expiring transactions.
The more tenable ways to move forward on improving the ecosystem around
delayed transactions and refunds are: Lightning, improved fee
estimation, and improved mempool eviction / re-propagation resistance.
The original reason that I began looking into this is because I noticed
that during high fee periods, transactions could re-propagate between
mempools of differing policies resulting in coins being stuck unusable
for far longer than the expected 1-2 week eviction. I don't know of any
concrete work going into investigating or improving this.
HTH,
