That "next version", will perhaps be the one after the QC crypto-apocalypse...
More seriously I don't expect another TLS version after this for a decade
or so. The adoption cycle is so long, it makes little sense to rev the
protocol with any frequency. So get it right now, near-term revisions
seem unlikely.
So I see your proposal as not a compromise, but rather as staying with
the status quo, for better or worse and for quite some time...
