The two journey systems accomplished very different things. The old one told a story, the new one is a tutorial. The game lacked any sort of tutorial, so the new journey system was a good addition, but at the cost of losing the story.
I do not think enabling the old system as a server option would be good, but bringing back the old system as a standard to exist in tandem with the new system (perhaps tweaked to remove redundancies), would be good. That said, I do not see the old system ever returning in any capacity.
I think it is far too late in the game’s life for such a drastic change to the core mechanics, even the changes they are already making, which are flipping the table on old mechanics, are not quite as massive as that and are not roundly received.
