It was fine before VAR. Referee's didn't make less mistakes, but there was way less controversy. If your team was on the receiving end of a poor offside call you were more likely to shrug it off and claim that "these things even themselves over the season anyway".
VAR brought controversy insofar as referees couldn't afford to make a single mistake without it being scrutinised. Pre-VAR, they made mistakes and they weren't scrutinised to this degree.
Just go back to regular offside rules with an implementation of "benefit" for the striker.
