As a serious debate, I'm not sure if it's going anywhere beyond Does!/Doesn't! exchanges on technical quality and relevance to able-bodied foot orienteers.
One possible application associated with 'conventional' orienteering is as an entertainment for non-orienteers accompanying orienteers to events. (Someone else mentioned that it might go well with Park-O or park-based Sprint-O events.) The quality would not have to be millimetre-perfect; the Trail-O would be presented as a challenging amusement rather than a competitive trial, with the added attraction of giving the non-orienteers an insight about what the competitive nutters were doing out there. (Hearts and minds...

Whether this would be valuable would depend on whether significant numbers of non-orienteers come to (some of) your club's events.
And it would need to be in or very close to the event car-park (looking over the hedges into adjoining fields/enclosures, perhaps?)
Oh, perhaps I should say I have tried the real thing, at the Dolgellau JK a few years ago, while not fit to run. And it was a serious mental challenge - very enjoyable. It would have been even better had there been an 'expert' on hand to discuss it with immediately afterwards.
Just a thought. Don't let me stop the fun...
