> On the other hand, 2FA opens up the "I lost my phone" customer support channel which might be just as weak.

"I lost my phone" (or "my phone stopped working") does need some solution, though.

The right way to handle "I lost my phone" seems like one of two possibilities: either come into a branch and provide legal identification matching what you used to open the account (and get "yourself" on camera doing so), or have a token mailed to your physical address on file (which you cannot change at the same time as a lost phone claim).
