IMO, a proper restoration via an X0 capture is the next best thing to a 35mm scan, which has almost no chance of happening (for legal & financial reasons).

Except that the JSC has less detail than the 93 (even with its smearing), and the GOUT was made from the original 93 master tape. I have my doubts that any laserdisc transfer, X0 or no, could improve on the GOUT.

However...

An X0 capture of the JSC, properly "restored," could be used in tandem with the GOUT to make a "best of both worlds" version. It might even be possible to combine JSC/GOUT shots to make new "hybrid" shots that look better than either version originally did.

But I still have my doubts.
