What if the Rotation in the first 15-days of the month only offered each guild a 20-minute grace period before going into FFA, rather than 8 hours (which IMO is excessive).
That way, guilds aren't taking all of their rotation mobs for granted. They still have to track and mobilise as fast as usual, but they just have 20 minutes of no interruptions in order to get to their raid boss.
If they wipe or fail to engage within 20 minutes, their mob becomes FFA.

Reasonably fair, but this does not solve the issue of 4 AM VS spawns. You'll just have TMO and FE sitting there with stop watches to determine when the grace period is up.
The issue is both the hardcore's instant response dominance and the variance. Both of those factors are preventing lesser guilds from meaningfully participating and experiencing endgame content. Any solution needs to place restrictions on guilds that would off-hours raid and restrictions on guilds that would take a disproportionate share of mobs.
Hands-off periods with a bag limit for each guild during that time is still, in my mind, the simplest and most fair.
