Has anyone ever proposed a workable solution to the problem of slow play? For example, having a time when people are told they must play fairly quickly? Of course, then it has to be enforced, and that can cause hard feelings - at least that is what happened where I play.

There are ambassadors, but they don't really have any on the spot enforcement authority. They are supposed to have a slow group pick up and move to the next tee, but apparently get very little backing from TV golf. I suppose if there is a chronic offender, or someone routinely rude to the ambassador, someone higher up the food chain may deal with it.
We could require mandatory "good golf school", but it will probably fall on deaf ears. There are those, not many, who feel "entitled" to hold everyone else up to play slow, or talk, or repeat shots because "they paid for it", like everyone else didn't. These people are everywhere, just lucky not so much in TV
