FROST actually avoids to leak the nsec, you just have a master key and (revocable) sub-keys. What's wrong with that?
Technically aliasing the npub seems a cleaner "classic" approach, but it's a burden for clients, and moving it to relays is not easier. At the end you still have to consider the case of a leaked (master) key, so a social recovery rotation seems a sensible approach for that, working in the meantime to make it a solution to be used in extreme cases.
