What is not true? 10x simpler, no?

There are two possibilities:

1. You misunderstood Paxos, probably confused that with RSM. For example, Paxos is just the leader election part of Raft. Superficially, it seems different from Paxos, but it what it is under the surface.

2. You implemented RSM incorrectly, probably missed some important features or optimizations. For example, log compaction, membership reconfiguration, pipeline, back pressure on execution, etc.

It is VERY important to differentiate Paxos and RSM. There are tons of optimizations you can do with RSM. But on consensus, there is ONLY Paxos today. Or you do it wrong or you invite something truly new.
