The solution I suggested would require some reconfiguration for sure, but it would definitely cost less at least in the short-medium term than adding and operating entirely new servers, and it's far better for the health (not to mention community) of all existing servers in the long run (far less concern about under- or over-utilization of regional servers).

I remember SE having to explain their head off to unhappy users about splitting up the servers during beta 3: very few, if any, people asked for it, and many 1.0 players in both Japan and NA/EU were very unhappy about being torn apart from their friends overseas. SE tried to explain the merits but looking back at it now, I really hope they realize it was all a big mistake.

Anyway, I'd disagree except I just got kicked off 90000 style after being on for a few hours so maybe they are rotating people lol
