What are the implications of a CTOL carrier without an angled deck?

They were introduced to solve many problems which will now reappear .

There are the issues of landing/recovery cycles,; deck spaces for loaded aircraft etc. Do all next wave aircraft have to be streuck below deck?

With no off landing line/bolter spots, can no one hold deck alert?

With an angled deck an aircraft on approach can deviate left or right before bolting, and with no issues of turbulence around towers; what happens with an aircraft drifting right on the approiach to the POW?

Have all the issues such as these been considered and resolved such that an angled deck is now superfluous?
