Monks were obviously supposed to have better ratio weapons than other classes, so I dont think the 29/30 ratio was a mistake. It's ratio is on par with other similar two handers in high level Kunark dungeons.The proc kicks it up a notch, but that was nerfed on live later in the timeline.

I don't know, they removed ton po's, nerfed moss covered twig into irrelevance and even the RFS became the IFS and so on, somebody dropped the ball somewhat bit yeah, I guess the general idea still remains.
But like jimjam said, lack of chain/plate and weight restriction pretty much relegated them to shit gear during most of kunark. Now you'd think shit gear was a drawback but in the end being non gear dependent is a boon more than anything else... Then velious came and flipped the script on its head, pretty much removing the "drawback".
On another note I just wanted to thank OP for sharing his findings. Everyone says 2handers are leagues away from 1handers but from my napkin math it was pretty close and wondering if I was crazy. The parses show 2h still do better for his content but it is probably much closer when you compare an IFS vs AC/Epic + SOS. I'm partial to 2handers but people going 1handers aren't at a big disadvantage.
Some of you might think getting BIS stuff is easy to get but for a whole bunch of us it is pretty much unattainable so those parses are very interesting. Say what you will but finding 2k-7k will always remain far easier.
