Unpopular opinion, Bitcoin blocks should be much smaller and slower, and support a 2WP to a single merge mined sidechain where blocks can be as fast and large as miners vote for (Rootstock proves that miners don't vote their way to centralisation).
The slow small blocks are an expensive clock that can't be safely pruned.
The fast large blocks are as ephemeral as the challenge period in the 2WP, the real limit on them is broadcasting, not initial block download.
What can we have of that;
1. The 2WP will probably remain a multisig or at best a BitVM setup for like 10 years or something.
2. Small slow blocks are possible in my opinion, but we can still cope with the status quo
3. The sidechain already exists and you can use it now if you want, and they even have improvement proposals for ephemeral blocks since forever, they just didn't see the demand yet, go use it.
