I replied in a different comment with a similar view. I think the issues are more substance-specific with other alternatives being available to consider.
GHB is fantastic in terms of it’s very limited negative health effects but it’s dosing can cause some issues as you mentioned. Those mentioned risks make it ideal for high-trust, safe situations but less ideal for broad replacement of the usage contexts of alcohol. I think there are other options that can and should be explored though.
