 Put a bar across, 9 feet above the service line.

 No 1st serve? Should the umpire throw the ball in play?

How about a compromise: underarm first serve, overarm second?

 How about like table tennis we make it hit the servers side of the court before bouncing over?

Quite.

If they were and such players were most of the top ranked players and seen as the way forward then that would be problematic. They aren't so it isn't really.

I guess an Isner type with rather more strings to his bow would be a bit scarey but at least he would have more strings to his bow.
