The + symbol serves triple duty in org syntax as a an indicator for +stricken words+, a line drawing symbol in tables, and a #+keyword prefix. I see little reason to continue to support +strike-through+ text. Perhaps the simplest solution would be to deprecate stricken text and disable it by default, allowing for an option to turn it on for backward compatibility.
