They should get the staff and funds. And keep discovery regardless because it's the right thing to do.

I put my larger thoughts in a comment below. I’m not saying get rid of it, tweak it and make money available for it.

I totally agree. Discovery needs to be kept, but it was a massive oversight to not provide the staffing and funding to make it feasible. Our court system has always been understaffed and underfunded and that alone has caused most of the delays and backlogs in the system. It's a shame.
