because my counterproposal brings up a new issue, which could be
summarized as "Constructors Considered Harmful":

So, if I understand your proposal correctly, you're essentially saying
that the ctor of a given class C may return a derived class of C instead

Isn't this just the "object factory" pattern in disguise?
It is, and in D we don't need object factory, we just need a free function.
