Just this week I read a 40+ page pamphlet put out by a UK organization making a compelling case against.
I am certainly waiting for the counter argument pamphlet. (it gives me something to read on shabbos)ujm & menachem
I sit on the fence on this issue
But let me present a counterargument to your points about making people wait
In general the SA says to get married earlier. However, there is a concept of waiting for an older sibling to get married. There are tshuvos on the subject recommending that a younger sister wait a year before entering shidduchim. So IF we look at this as something we need to do to ensure older singles get married and IF we look at all klal yisroel as being sisters, then I can argue there is a halachic basis for this.
whether or not this would help remains to be seencoffee
I have not encountered the paid bf engagement yet
But I would think that is counterproductive, encouraging people to break off when they are unsure rather than pay the feeas for the OP
enforcement will be the issue
We survived without wedding halls during covid and I would imagine people will find work arounds now
Your statement “we banned the internet” only proves the point, people have ways to circumvent the rules
