Isn't it just so that the Mongo's SSPL is a natural extension of AGPL, modified to make it cover things that wouldn't otherwise be considered a derived work (which is exactly what FSFs interpretation of GPL does for more typical, 'single-host' situations), and inheriting the AGPL's problems?

I'm not sure what the question is, but the AGPL is very carefully drafted to avoid the problems Van is talking about.
Well, according to the article the second problem is directly inherited from AGPL.
Not quite. There are administrative problems with the AGPL, which are inherited here. But it is the scope of this license that pulls in these new defenses.
I'm sure they will address your concerns in SSPL v2. But make no mistake, you can't win here.
I will then create Anticensor's Public License, stating everything interacting with said work must be licensed under the same license.
