Would a VR-type practice dungeon be a reasonable compromise?

My issue with 'training rooms' is that you can't simulate a raid environment without it being the raid itself. Certain mechanics? Sure. But you also practice these in the raid itself, in a real environment.

I'd much prefer they just add a parser already and stop hand holding where it's not needed.

the training is not for practicing mechanics.
It's to help people practice their rotation better.
when people understand their rotation better, they can start getting used to knowing what to use in raid situation.
