The problem is that it’s inconsistent with solid-body physics?
Solid-body physics is an approximation. This isn’t hard to show. Just bend something.
Consider the model of masses connected by springs. This is consistent with special relativity, and can be used to model solid-body physics. In fact, it’s a more accurate model of reality than solid-body physics.

No, that’s not the issue. The problem is that no flat-space configuration works.
