mksh is currently up for adoption:

I briefly considered adopting it, mainly for historical purposes.[1] But, you seem to have a much stronger itch here. You should adopt it.
Actually, I think whoever adopts mksh should replace it with the real Korn shell. The whole pdksh -> mksh code path reflects the historical unavailability of the true ksh source code, but that changed in 2000.[2]
[1] It’s sometimes useful to be able to compare ksh88/93 behavior to Bash and Zsh.
