What this thread is all about is (and it is written in its title):
music notation, music theory
(and nomenclature)
Jazz is nothing but a niche music style, as it is the case with death metal or micro-tonal music.
I believe I pointed out enough facts about the discrepancies in the so called modern (western?) music notation, nomenclature, hence - the theory as well following those elements.
So my theory is, backed up with proofs (see above), that this "system" is inconsistent to say the least.

The title says "How to revamp the ancient music notation and music theory system which is flawed?"
Who ever said it is one system ?
This is where, in my opinion, the argument doesn't stand.

Only if you restrict yourself to believe there is and should be one system.

Once again only if you believe there is and should be one system.
As well as Jazz and Classical, there is also the Nashville number system, and many other suitable systems.
Every play a gig ?
I've played thousands using each system , and just as importantly, no notation at all, complete reliance on ears, and all of the systems have served me well.
I understand the idea of rationalization, IMHO it simply doesn't apply here -- YMMV
