Naturally, it's your layout, and considering how old you were when you started it, it's a very good one -- and it's your call what you do with it now that you've reached the point where you'd do much better with something started all new. On the other hand, one thing you're saying is that a 4 x 8 doesn't work well with GG1s. You're right!! On the other hand, a bunch of 2 x 4 or 2 x 8 modules hooked together don't work any better. If you want GG1s on a layout, a tweak here and there isn't going to get you there!
A 4 x 8 is, as you say, a tail chaser, and there are lots of compromises involved in it. On the other hand, you can in fact operate on it, just not the Tropicana Train or the Broadway. You really can't operate on modules.
