I was looking at the SKS chain guards.

They look quite sharp, but ...

The weak points are circled in blue and red.

Exposed chain and sprockets are exposed to dirt and dust.

There’s always belt drive, if you want different problems.

Hard to use a derailer system with a belt, though :-)

You won't get anything much better. The sprockets are wide, the
derailleur moves. Best solution? Hub gears.

The Kindernay is a solution in search of a problem.

That would fall into the category of “different problems.” :-)
