The skyline code was not written to address bugs.

Neither is this here.  We are talking about changing established
behavior to something different.  And the motivation for that _is_ the
responsibility of the skyline code.

But if you want a "one-stop-shopping way to clear bugs galore" from
which we are still recovering, take a look at issue 3199.  It's
responsible for at least issues 3359, 3360, 3385 and was pushed
without even waiting for the review to clear.

LilyPond's previous spacing algorithms weren't buggy - they were
just less snug than they are now.

"Snug" reminds me of issue 2527, another problem solver responsible
for issues 3363, 3465, 3497.

I don't see the relationship between the two.

Which makes it a good thing that you are not pursuing a career as
project manager.

At any rate, we are trying to stabilize our code base in a timely
manner suitably for a stable release, and the established track record
of ingenious solutions solving all problems in one fell swoop does not
suggest that this is the way to go.
