I don't think the pressure here is going to come from any disconnect-related exploit; I think it'll instead come from unsustainable queue times and new players continuing to complain about other problematic aspects of the MSQ dungeons that weren't fixed (things like the atrocious Magitek armour authorization process).

SE is far more sensitive to these pressures. Indeed, it was rampant complaints by new players that prompted the changes in 4.2 to begin with. I do agree that it might not be enough for SE to commit the dev resources a proper fix demands (just look at their intransigence in regards to Glamours), but they're still worth bringing up, especially if SE's internal statistics show that these missions are contributing to people quitting FFXIV.
