A rewrite of season 8 wouldn't even solve the problems with this season. The issue is that things happening this season weren't earned through character development in the prior seasons. Particularly dropping the Blackfyre story line from the books took a lot of wind out of the sails on the story lines about Mad Dany, Jon Snow's lineage, and Lord Varys motivations.
Everyone who is upset (like I am) should take this as a lesson learned that Benioff and Weiss know how to write actions sequences but they can't write character development and political espionage - and choose their future media consumption wisely based on that knowledge.
