I think one of the biggest problems is that ID resolution crosses

Well, yes, and there is an easy way to fix this: Deprecate id lookup
across file scope. id lookup is actually the same as context property
lookup right now. That's what you're seeing there. We cannot get rid of
IDs, obviously, but we can restrict their use to the file context and
not search the whole context hierarchy.
Yeah, that's going to make using QML in actual applications a whole lot
harder. For instance, sometimes access to some root node is needed even
from deep leaf files. Removing that capability is quite a drastic measure.
