the government should be barred from implementing a law or regulation that requires "reference implementation " to prove it is "possible to implement"
If it needs such a thing it is too complex and should be repealed

For example, it was deemed "impossible" to adjust student loan interest rates, because the software would take two years to modify. Either they are completely incompetent, or they are deliberately lying for political reasons.
So yeah, refusing a law because it is "too complex" won't work either.
The only way out is by accepting that the current state is unacceptable, and working on a long and slow fix, during which we don't say "this is unacceptable therefore we require immediate changes". This will fuck people over. But not making those changes properly will fuck people over even more.
We might be on an administrative brink. That takes a radical approach to fix.
