Considering that when we had direct elections we had representatives that, like for instance Katoh-san, were excellent Directors but not really defending the users' interests, the answer on all your questions below might well be "Probably yes".
This said, I prefer to have an ALAC that is forward looking, and not an ALAC who chooses to go again on a path that has already failed in the past.
Agree with you on that. One of the reasons why we joined the At Large some years ago was exactly because of that - we wanted to move forward, and contribute positively. This constant looking back makes the movement forward risky. As for the "defending of the users' interests", we often see that the registrants' interests are OK, it's the interests of the commercial registrants that seem to have been suffering? I wonder if at this mailing list there are people who are concerned with the interests of the commercial registrants?
