I fail to see how an uncomplicated system which people can actually
understand is a problem. Zones are essentially distance-based, but
take into account a need to be flexible with travel plans, the fact
that central London is much busier than outer London, and keep
people happy when they can easily understand what fare they will
pay.

How would Travelcards - the most useful and flexible ticket - work
under a point-to-point system?

West Yorkshire and the West Midlands have the best of both worlds.
There's a zone map for the purposes of offering zonal travelcards, but
there's also a point-to-point system for season tickets and walk-on
fares.
