It's not up to debate, GET does allow a body.

You can make all noise you want about how it's not up for debate because of what the standard says, and said noise does not avoid sideshow bs debates about the how it is used and restricted/limited in practice. A new method avoids that because a new method comes with exactly zero historical baggage.

A new method does not give any advantage over extending an existing method, it's going to have to use the same code anyway.

GET allows, but does not require, server implementations to read/parse a body

sending a body with a GET request does not suggest the recipient server will receive that body, in general
