I think we cannot change the RTP stack implemenation here, that has to be the same for all implementations including RTCP for deriving NTP timestamps. But we may give a guideline on the RTP timestamp generation for layered codecs used with session multiplexing, which may be used to "improve" the data alignment process or may make it a little bit easier for some implementations. RTCP with NTP stays and is mandatory to be used, however an layered receiver may also rely on the fact the RTP timestamps are aligned in the different sessions in this particular case.

Could that be a way to go forward?

So, your "improvement" is that layered decoders should ignore the RTCP SR information, and assume the timestamps are aligned, but you'd send the SR data anyway? Sorry, no, that's just another way of saying you don't want to implement RTCP.

Guidelines on how to generate SR packets with correct timestamps, sure.
