Guys, a winner is found! I finally found an arrangement that makes the 42215 playble. I define playable as having the arm move at decent speed with decent torque. And the solution is just one extra L motor. I actually did try hard-coupled motors in my previous iteration, but because I put a linear clutch in the transmission for the base LAs, they don't work reliably. Fortunately @gyenesvi pointed it out. I removed it and the whole thing works flawlessly. Honestly at 430$ this is what should have been sold in the beginning. Demonstration.

You were right. I rebuilt the 42215 gearbox with two hard-coupled motors, this time without the linear clutch to the base LAs. The two motors showed sufficient torque to lift the arm at playable speed.- 5,509 replies

Guess what a shocking discovery I just made. Lego no longer offers instructions for Technic B models, even for past models. I just looked up instructions for a couple of sets (8043, 42043, 42009), and only instructions of A models are listed. Try it yourself: https://www.lego.com/en-my/service/building-instructions/42009 -
Here's the demonstration. The transmission can always be modified for more torque through some gear swaps, but that would come at the expense of speed, which is what I'd rather avoid. The setup I used in the video is a careful balance between acceptable speed and sufficient torque for bucket coupling/decoupling. I haven't tested, but I don't think there's enough torque to play digging.
