I think it's bad even in the 16th century. Like it's bad enough that it's perfectly reasonable for Hero to die at that point, so the absurd and elaborate trick works. But that makes the Act 5 scenes where Don Pedro and Claudio slowly realized throughout various encounters that they have majorly fucked up *chefs kiss*.

But honestly I think people don't really get the point about what we would now call toxic masculinity, and I think they don't really know what to do with the abrupt shift in from witty to melodramatic to lighthearted. Imo, you have to keep the funny throughout, even the absolutely shitty wedding scene, the whole play really, and no one ever does. The closest version to that is the Tennant one.

I think you could also do it with teenagers/high school, because people would probably more easily forgive dumbass boys when everyone their age is a dumbass, and then it doesn't have to feel like Claudio and Hero are together forever.

Seconded.
That's why the Tennant and Tate version is my favourite one so far.
