This is made worse by the fact that a defending force in ToV and an offensive force in Western Wastes is a stalemate that is very common in Velious and the offensive force can continually engage the defensive force with no risk to themselves as they can call LNS at any time for their raid, take a 1 hour time out outside while they rebuff and reinforce, and engage you again further into your NTOV clear.

The lockout affects any zones in which large fighting/deaths occurred. "In large scale PvP there is no limit to the number of zones a force can be locked out of. If a fight took place across multiple zones the lockout will apply to all zones a PvP related death occurred in."
I'm not saying LNS is perfect, and if R99 was just being started I would advocate against it, mostly for the community building reasons above. However, since it's been a part of the creation of the culture of R99, taking it away would decimate the population and general enjoyment. Twinks who are "the slayers of virgins" are celebrated in the larger circles of R99.
I don't think straight removal of LNS is the answer, but there are definitely changes that could be made. It's supposed to be a tradeoff for the scooter, caused by the lockout. Perhaps one possibility is increasing the duration, or allowing the victor to name the zone (likely more important for guild vs guild engagements)?
I think it's ideal to have meaningful PvP, without punishing people that aren't twinked beyond reason in the lower levels. I wouldn't expect the red community to step up to bat for that.
