Well, I'd like it if you could explain in detail here what problems it
creates.
It seems to have the following advantages:
Unmodified Emacs Lisp code continues to work
Unmodified standard Scheme code continues to work
Your proposal seems to depend on two things that I dislike:
A preference for making users adapt the language they write in rather
than developer time spent making things work right for all users
A relabeling of standard-conformant Scheme code as "very finicky"

Jim Blandy's proposal seems to correctly make things compatible with
Lisp *and* conformant to the Scheme standard.
