That protocol already exists and is installed on almost every personal computer in the world... but there's alas there's still a lot of TCP out there.Perhaps one day, there will be a truly reliable transport protocol, and an API that allows a bind() against multiple IPs and a connect() to all a target host's IPs instead of just one, so both hosts can learn of each other's IP addresses that are offered to be used for that connection, then "multiple PA IP addresses" would be a technically viable multi-homing strategy.
By the way, the problems you listed are some, but not all, of the reasons why it isn't really a viable multi-homing strategy... but yours also include some of the reasons why having ULA + globally-routed space both active would be a problem for many applications.
