I’m fine with FCFS, because I know how to win now, but no way is it fair. If you are prepared, you can also game FCFS way harder.
Most of the flaws listed with raffles aren’t actually flaws with raffles but flaws with how some raffles have been run. There is nothing about a raffle that prevents making it balanced in different ways, you can for example give people more entires if they enter earlier, you can have a separate pool for people who expressed interest during the IC. If you want to prevent cheaters, you could for example have everyone who enters PayPal a dollar from a VERIFIED account.
FCFS is certainly the easiest, and for stuff with less demand it’s not super critical which way you go, but there is no way to really make FCFS fair, the same people will always win. Raffle is as fair as the runner chooses to make it, but at least then the potential exists.
