They are getting our money, they don't need integrity, so long as people keep paying they are perfectly happy I'm sure, that or they are planing a way to find all the people cheating somehow, and if they are, they are keeping it secret so people don't try to avoid it or stop cheating before the plan is complete.
I would honestly think even if the cheating is client side, they can check the files for things like changing names of things (lamps to find orders instantly) and with enough errors, ban them. Make an extra long update for something we know not what it is, and instead of actually updating alot, have it do minor updates, but alot of checking files against current files, if possible should work.

The only way to improve lamp floors is to get rid of them. The "lamps in a certain order" is far worse than "all the lamps at once" though. If someone messes it up, you've just wasted a huge amount of time. About the only thing I could imagine is limit the number of lamps, or put all the lamps near eachother in a single room so you can see eachother.
I would suggest to remove all the unnecessary delays. This includes time spent:
-Loading into starting room.
-Obtaining temp items in starting room.
-Porting up after each completed floor.
-Waiting for lamp delay, either for all lamps to light up or for cooldown after a wrong order/missed "same time" lamp.
How about start the timer on floor 1, and not the staging room.
As far as lamps, how about limiting the number of lamps to a maximum of 3.
Have the timer freeze on each floor once the objective is completed.
The only other thing i can think of is, introduce the purchase of a revitalizer in the temp chest. That would allow for more diverse groups instead of being tied to 2 scholars and 4 heavy DD's.
Get rid of lamp lighting order altogether, I don't think anyone will miss them.

Remove lamp order floors or label the lamps 1 through 5. Order floors destroy any chance a group has of getting 100 unless they guess right on the 1st or 2nd try and the chance of that on a 5 lamp floor is extremely low and it seems like the chance of hitting order floors is pretty high.
P.S. I made a list of pretty universally supported ideas for NI2 HERE that never got any comrep attention.
