I would add that it would involve changing the logical structure of the game to account for incidents that are extremely rare.

How often does it really happen that a run could have been awarded, because it was in progress or on the way to the boundary, on an overturned out decision?

And rarer still for it have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.

Of far more significance was the 50 runs Pant scored after the out decision was overturned than the ghost boundary.

While I understand that the runs can't be given because the ball was dead, what it also means is that batting side lost one delivery to score runs for no fault of theirs. So in such cases when the ball is dead, the bowling side can be required to ball the delivery again.
