TP - Why do you think MB2002 is making it practically complex? He has correctly anticipated a problem with the presentation of VFE on the GA, and the barbers pole will be a reminder.
Complex because you don't use the table for VFE next, you use the PFD. If the lever is in FLAP 3, VFE next refers to CONF FULL, not some figure you have extracted from a table. The table is only used for determining MAX SPD and from that the recommended speed to use for a circuit, or to clean up for a diversion, following a go-around. On a go-around VFE next is irrelevant.
Airbus write very precise FCOM and QRH, so precise that most pilots think they are probably too concise. But this procedure contains all the information you need, and if you follow it with the same precision with which it was written it will get you down safely.
