This is a PRELIM output of a model I'm working on. Note that is 100% based on raw stats (only divine stats, no arena boost, no adjustments for factoring resist > hp). It's not 100% accurate, but it's definitely in the ballpark.
Only have made it for Torsos/Mods currently. If you're p2w, aim for the L-M stuff, if you're newer player/f2p only, do most efficient E-M/R-M/C-M where you can't do L-M.
P.S. When I feel confident enough about the model for other items, I can release some of that later, if there's enough demand for it.

it won't fix everything but it will be a big step closer to stopping boosting bc it will definitely prevent it. Do you have a problem with that? If a player is an ethical one then this change (making replays visible) can not harm them by any means
Don't have problem with trying to stop boosting. But setting up a system where innocent players get accused is something I'll advocate against all day. Community has gotten too toxic in some areas - I see this as stirring that pot a bit. Showing replays doesn't solve boosting. Adding more players in the arena does.

Because it's a bad idea. (Well a good idea, but horrible execution and thinking out the solution)

Yes, I agree, it is easily exploitable, but boosting is not a major problem, and people will boost anyways, the main thing would be for people to only have one account, sure you can open other accounts as long as they are unused. This would fix half the problem. Besides that, there is not much anyone can do.
Deleting alts isn't really an option and would be horrible for SM business. As people who care about pixels tend to be bigger spenders and have large community presence.
And evening tracking who owns what account is near impossible (ie. how do you know someone owns it vs. co-pilots it vs. someone played then quit and gave it away). Then you add in VPNs, shared accounts, etc - and it's a real mess to figure out who's boosting who. At best, it would be an incredible manual task for Gato and super controversial. At worst, you just killed the top player base and lost revenue and morale in game. From a business mgmt perspective, it's not worth imo.
But like you said, there's maybe 15 people in the game who actually care about boosting (I personally used to, but realized it's not worth it). We have bigger fish to catch (exploiters are the priority for me, for example, along with balance changes).

If Replays were restored, simply everyone could see the continuous insta quits from the same accounts everytime on a player's replays. Therefore it would be ethically wrong for the player to continue boosting.
1) How would you know who is boosting vs. an innocent player quitting? (How would you tell if someone intentionally threw a match vs played it out legit?)
2) Replays disappear over time / sometimes don't show up at all. How would you track that? What about someone who boosts 1 in every 10 matches between a few accounts? Or the dedicated booster who plays friendly non-ranked 1v1s to clear replay history?
3) Don't you think an "ethical" player will just claim these accounts aren't his/hers? Basically claim that they are people he/she plays against (there's really not many top players...) and know they will lose, so they quit?
4) To troll an enemy clan, you can just always insta quit against them and accuse them of boosting and ruin their reputation...What's your fix for that? Many people know they will lose matches before turn 1, so this way they can punish enemies lol...?

How does showing replays change boosting? Boosters will still either insta quit or just played intentionally lost matches. Fundamental issue is that arena lacks many players at any given time, which allows boosting to occur.
Additionally, replays won't help much - then you're going to start accusing insta quitters who have an easy loss of boosting. As the #1 player who gets insta quit against, you'll see how many "boosters" I have for example. To play more devil's advocate, if someone wanted to look "legit" for this - they would just play a counter that loses against the main account, thereby justifying an insta quit. These days most boosters boost a little here and there, so I don't think it'll be as easy to detect as you might think.
And to play devil's advocate more - everyone in top ranks knows who manipulates arena hardest and their style of it. This isn't an individual players issue; more of a clan issue imo. You talk of solo medals but completely forget about clan medals - who you can argue get hit more often and consistently by boosted clan results.
Thankfully with the most recent ban wave, I think boosting will calm down, but time will tell...And to give some perspective, boosting affects maybe 0.0001% of SM players.
TLDR: Boosting isn't a big issue. But the fix (if we wanted to pursue) would be to increase # of players in arena, not replays.

Now I ask you, Do you want to be very lucky but little or no talent? Or not be lucky but have a lot of talent? What is talent? I mean when you have a lot of ability by nature, (or you have it from birth).
All things being equal, I'll take lucky over talent. Luck makes life a lot easier and less stressful usually. Talent is try-hard and usually is less effect that luck lol.

Yeah but even with that, it doesn't help me. No needs for packs. Inventory is great, but inv buffs are coming later anyways. Anyways this is off topic...
