I just did an informal poll of the IESG members that happened to be active
in the IESG slack channel at the time I asked.

There's a previous IESG statement on this topic that's relevant:
https://www.ietf.org/about/groups/iesg/statements/support-documents/

Generally, this informal poll suggests the IESG disfavors a document that
is nothing more than a problem statement.  This aligns, unsurprisingly,
with the IESG statement.  Such documents, by themselves, have uncertain
archival value.  So if we want to publish a problem statement, with or
without a "what we've tried" appendix, we should consider merging the
proposed solution(s) into such a document before advancing it to the IESG.
