I think "everyone gets the exact same test" is a whole level of hell worse than "everyone gets a test that makes sense for their abilities and goals"

Are you just concerned about the administration side of things?

I think the GP here has a pretty reasonable outlook here

"Some people can't do some things the same way as others and that's ok, people are different"

Is the vibe I got from that post

Either the test must be the same for everybody or it is not a meaningful signal.
Yes. But there will always be an obscure case you can’t cover. Let’s say a test is written. Someone can’t write, but can dictate answers. Is it still the same test or not?

On the other hand, how far can society tip-tap around such alternative takes? Could he go study in a field where hand writing is expected and society would still be forced to adapt?
