Please see my first point, var needs to be quicker. If its quick enough not to suck the joy out of things then noone will care that it's "too accurate." What I dont think you're getting is "at a glance" still has a (now poorly defined) boundary, so you're just asking var to check a different line.
The alternative is to do away with VAR altogether. You can make a good case for that if you're willing to trade mistakes for immediacy. Fine, but maybe that means Garnacho's winner at the Emirates last season costs us the title. But once VAR is in use, 'at a glance' just isnt compatible.
Would happily take Garnacho's equaliser and the odd mistake - we'd benefit from a relaxed stance & swifter decision way more often than the opposition.
I dont think it can work in practice the way you would like, unfortunately. Just because offside isnt subjective, like a call for a marginal foul. It's literally measurable, like goal line decisions. It's a choice between wanting faster var (begging for semi auto to come in, personally) or get rid.
And fwiw offside is not as easily measurable as with goal line tech.
When was the ball struck exactly? Much bigger area to cover. The tech is out there but whatever we've got today is woefully immature and has been since day one. Time to bin, reset, and returned only when instant & 99.9% 🎯

The aim should not be pinpoint precision. The aim should be to reduce glaring errors.

Eschew fidelity and return to the spirit of the game. Give goals ffs. Keep the joy as you say. And above all maintain momentum.

I also know I'm a minority but still amazed how brazenly the tech was introduced and to hell with the soul of the game.
