Can't we at least wait for a response on the GCC bug first?
Even if the GCC bug were fixed immediately, we would still have to add DECLSPEC_HOTPATCH as needed until all major distributions adopt the next version of GCC. I agree that the situation isn't ideal, but on the plus side, even with the 12 functions identified in bug 45199, the functions that applications try to patch are still less than 1% of the total number of Windows functions.
Propagation may be slow, but I get the impression that we try to avoid even temporary workarounds if the proper place for the solution is upstream.
Also, since bug 45199 only became really relevant after gcc 8.1, I'm not sure how concerned we need to be with waiting for "all major distributions".
