The problem is that the traditionally reconstructed sound system
is typologically irregular. Presumedly a voiceless aspirated
row must be present before a whisper-voiced aspirated row can be
added.

The typological problem can be easily solved by re-instating a series of
voiceless aspirated stops: *ph, *th, *kh.

And this is the proper solution.
