I don't know as that inquisitorial legal systems really solve the main problems. The only change is that now the judges, a lot of whom already trip on their own power, now get to control criminal investigations and get more evidence that they've already drawn biased conclusions for.

Our legal system is fundamentally hosed up mainly because our focus is on petty revenge and subjugation of the lower class. That's not a philosophical issue with adversarial legal systems rather our specific penal codes.

Yeah, "let's abolish the adversarial prosecution-defense structure in favor of the judge doing everything and having even more power" is not an obviously superior system.
