Having to expend effort (e.g. re-design/update config and deployment) to switch/update/upgrade to a new paradigm does not, IMO, mean that it's not a solution for everyone. Anyone can take the time to implement and automate the switch. Once that effort has been spent, you should have nearly the same (maybe better) setup, with hopefully better security and resource utilization in many cases. All of those php_admin_* directives end up in a php-fpm conf file that can easily be automatically updated and deployed. I'm certainly not saying that this work is trivial with many years of history, and it may not be for everyone, but it is certainly possible for anyone. With fpm and mod_proxy_fcgi, I don't see myself ever using mod_php again, but that's just me.
