Just remove them from the game. Or make it so that attacking things from the back just gives you a flat bonus in DPS. Because then at least there wouldn't be this weird mental hangup that makes you go "do I need to be at the flank or the back" which can cost you a GCD while your attention is spent trying to stay alive or not wipe the raid. DPS rotations should be automatic, muscle reflex that you never have to think about so you can actually focus on the fun part of the fight. The fight itself.
True North helps with just about... everything here, also the bosses that are only on the edge attackable from the front have closed circle hit boxes which means you don't need positionals at all. Open circle hit boxes are the the ones meant for positionals not that anyone is forced to do them.
