I actually think a revised 5e is a good idea. I just question the direction it seems to be taking currently. So I'd revise 5e, keeping the good and reworking where needed. My 5 product lineup would be PHB, starter set, big adventure, setting and player option book, adventure anthology including...

If you truly want to preserve dying as a key mechanic, you need to ask yourself how long combat takes. If it's like 5e or other similar games, combat can take a long time. To get killed an hour in and have to do that combat again might not be very fun. And how many players would there be...
