There are questions about why we should discount at all, or if we are going to, how to choose an appropriate rate.
But even setting those aside: this isn’t any more of a solution than the version without discounting. They’re similarly reliant on empirical facts about the world (the rate of resource growth); they just give differing answers about how fast that rate needs to be before you should wait rather than cash out.
