I obviously don’t think that is too much to ask. If they want to bring in another suitable solution, it is fine by me but that is going to be time-consuming and with a redesigned system, new problems will rise. But that is not going to be the case if they simply upgrade the DLS system.
Understandable, but the truth is that this isn't really a priority for the ICC especially after the COVID debacle in recent times.
A lot of things that cricket needs doesn’t seem to be a priority for the ICC right now. It feels like money is the actual priority of ICC. As long as the money is flowing they don’t care about what happens to the game.

If it is reliable and rational then ICC can certainly will accept it. But as far as I know they are not willing to extend the match. It is not possible for them to take a match to another day. Because there are many kinds of expenses and the schedule of cricket has to be changed. For which they may find this method more suitable. Obviously, they are trying to discover better method that will be more reliable for the cricket world.
I highly doubt that they are actually trying to discover anything which will be better than the DLS system. And as long as there is not much protesting or anything made against the DLS system, ICC is not even going to improve that system either. And the one thing people have to realize is that when the DLS method was introduced it was very good for that time. But time has changed and the system also needs to be upgraded.
