Which you can do with DNSSEC but the key management will be enormous.

It sounds like you think nothing is workable, we simply cannot make anything secure

If an end and another end directly share a secret
key without involving untrustworthy trusted third
parties, the ends are secure end to end.

- if we should give up on WebPKI (and all its faults) and DNSSEC (and all its faults) and RPKI (and all its faults), 
what do we have left?

An untrustworthy but light weight and inexpensive (or free)
PKI may worth its price and may be useful to make IP address
based security a little better.
