Not having tied games in the group stage is stupid.

Prefer the Super Over myself. I feel knockouts should be won on the day.
Worth noting by your criteria, which has after all been used in prior WCs, England win the 2019 WC (though it’s fair to acknowledge NZ take a different approach to the final ball if this is the case)
I actually laughed when I heard the game would be decided by boundary count in case of a tied super over, it tells you everything you need to know about how the governing body views cricket. Sure, replaying the super over until someone wins makes more sense than boundary count nonsense, but super overs shouldn't even be a part of ODI's to begin with (they only make sense for T20).
A tie is a result, people shouldn't act like it's a draw.
For semi-final, revert to group stage standings to determine who gets in the final.
For the final, sharing the trophy would be logical, but no one would be satisfied with that so use the reserve day to replay the game.

for tied semis and final, using the group standings tie breaker is way more legit

Way more legit than any stupid boundary count rule.

The way they’ve got it now is right.

Wait, they're really doing super overs for all games, not juts knockouts? Why ffs. Ties are fun.

It really does boggle the mind that this wasn't what the original rule was. The super over already existed, so the cricketing lawmakers literally thought up the scenario of what would happen if the super over gets tied, and instead of the most blatantly obvious solution (just play another one), they went full galaxy brain and cooked up for the most ridiculous, convoluted nonsense imaginable.
