I am not here to argue how the chaotic raid should have been, I just want more stuff to do for people that want to transition into playing a fight of that difficulty.
That already exists, it's called "Extreme" mode content. I don't mean that in a "gotcha" way, but the Extremes of previous expansions (synced or unsynced), as well as current expansion extremes, do fall within that definition when higher gear and echo is introduced. As frustrating as mentor roulette can be, but out of the 2 dozen EX trials I got in there so far, all were cleared within the lockout, even with a significant portion of first timers. And those were synced. Similarly, EX1 during EW could be cleared by following someone with a danger dorito, and healing / dps requirements were eased with progressively better gear as well as the introduction of echo. If the goal is to "practice" without too big a risk of failing, then unsynced EX trials are indeed the perfect outlet, and they already exist. They even have worthwhile rewards (mounts)!

At the end of the day, it's not about the lack of content that precludes people from engaging or learning. It's the people themselves. If people don't want to properly spread during proteans when they can survive doing it, but it becomes "too hard" a mechanic when overlapping cannot be survived, then there is no content that could bridge this. One either learns, or doesn't. 30 ray people dying to every single mechanic in Red Choctober say hi.
