Think everyone is forgetting something important.
Fluff transcends all editions.
There is nothing at all no matter what is written in any book that prevents a DM from altering it to his own prespectives.
Those that have a problem with the Feywild, alter how it connects. I believe it was covered within the Original Box Set how even the Elemental Planes were altered and you couldn't travel beyond them to other planes bypassing the 'closed world' policy of Darksun.
See it was already thought of during the 1E days. Even Spelljammer during 2E touched on the closed world nature of Athas and it's Crystal Sphere.
Other solutions.
Perhaps use a time imbalance for the Feywild. What is a few seconds there, is in actuality a near lifetime here. That's why few who ever travel there ever make it back. If you make it obscene like 100 years prime = 1 round Feywild. It quickly explains why few ever 'return' and it could also explain how every now & than a random gnome/eladrin/etc might appear that survived the purges of the Sorceror Kings of old.
It also makes the Fey Step / Teleport nearly impossibly fast on the Feywild side to have a true effect on them.
See it's what you make of it. The book is nothing but a guideline. I think you yungin's have all forgotten that fact. <shakes my old man cane>
