Getting way ahead of the current state and narrative:

Could it be beneficial to have a soft fork where all the ETF's, Saylor, the 'shiny digital property' crowd and super conservative, the store of value guys remain on one side of the fork?
The 'move ahead with caution' types, an assortment of devs, the 'also medium of exchange' guys can take the other side of the fork, and could with moderation try to get lightning, other L2s, cold storage, bitcoin scripting to a next level.

The idea being: let a second tree grow and quickly develop in the firsts shadow to hopefully grow strong enough to withstand the heat on his own.
If one doesn't make it you have the other to fall back on

(Speaking as one who hasn't experienced the block size wars, so I probably underestimate the pain and dilutiveness of such a happening)
