The critical flaw is the existence of HTLCs. Remove HTLCs and you basically remove 99% of the complexity and things start working much better. It's too big of a change, it would basically mean starting from scratch with a new protocol -- and one that is not "trustless", so there would be crying.
Try proposing this to any of the Lightning developers and watch their reaction.
