In all honesty, I think the best way to reconcile is just to make a sub/splinter site with greater emphasis on entertainment, while tasvideos keeps itself devoted to "gotta go fast". Would that cause huge problems for people? Hell, you could just have a YouTube channel that hosts entertainment runs. The community could run it and preserve runs that are decided entertaining but not worthy of a new category or obsoleting an existing run. Basically, I just see a viewpoint that majorly differs from the site's intended goal and could be satisfied with minimal hassle. Let the official runs be as fast as possible, and you can publish entertaining runs for fun, informally.

Splitting the site into more categories has been suggested several times in the past. It has never caught.
There's millions of different ways the site could be modified to better support niche runs. All that's needed is for someone to make the code changes.

I know I'm just a lurker, but I have an opinion on the categories: Can't Any% RBA and the new strategy be combined, while saving a new spot for Any% no RBA? That would sound reasonable, since the wrong warp to the end credits breaks the game about as much as RBA does. And no, I don't see TASVideos changing its structure anytime soon nor do I think it should.
Would the staff be open to the idea of someone coming on to attempt something like this? I can't say I'd have absolute confidence in being able to do it until I knew more about the current code, but I have done a fair bit of work in site backend, database interaction, etc. There's nothing about what I perceive to be the project that strikes me as outright impossible, at least.
In my opinion, there should be 5 categories: Low% (debatable whether or not that should be split up), any% no major glitches, any% glitched, MST or All Quests, and 100%. Which ones are done, that's up to the TASers, but those should be the categories.
How exactly do you define "no major glitches"? What if a seemingly minor glitch used in a published, "low glitched" run was found to lead to a major, game-breaking route? =P

Where can I find a video of beating the game by warping to the ending?
