The only true fair solution would be to put everyone back at least a year and wait until the exams can actually be done. In the mean time they could've invested the energy in getting an online exam system working and improve/innovate online learning mechanisms so that if we go back into lockdown again they are ready for it.

I don't think doubling the size of the classes in the year below, and forcing schools to retain an extra year's worth of students is at all practical or would actually solve any problems. Let alone all the new problems it would create. What do Universities do if they have a whole year's worth of students just not show up, then suddenly gets two years worth come in at the same time?

I suspect you've not actually thought this through.
