+1 for option 1 since it's a reasonable temporary workaround Moving to GitHub discussions would either mean moving the current FLIP collection or having the FLIPs in two locations. Both options do not seem to be optimal. Another concern I had was that GitHub Discussions wouldn't allow integrating diagrams that easily. But it looks like they support Mermaid [1] for diagrams.
One flaw of the GoogleDocs approach is, though, that we have to rely on diagrams being provided as PNG/JPG/SVG rather than draw.io diagrams. draw.io is more tightly integrated with the Confluence wiki which allows editing/updating diagrams in the wiki rather than using some external tool. Google Draw is also not that convenient to use in my opinion. Anyway, that's a minor issue, I guess.
