Which means it's no longer a part of the language. We use modern English, not Middle English. Saying "zie" is no better than saying "il" or something in the middle of a sentence. It's just a related word from a different language.

The pronouns that the OP mentioned aren't the ones that existed in Middle English, though? People aren't trying to adopt those pronouns, they're trying to implement new ones, and given that language is a living thing and changes and adapts as the culture and people around it change, it's not totally out of line.

"Hir" (which wasn't mentioned by the OP, admittedly) was used in Middle English, and is sometimes used now. But that's the only example I'm familiar with. Granted, I'm not an expert with Middle English by any means. Also, "hir" seems to have meant "her" or "their," so it's not really something that doesn't have a modern equivalent.

Ideally, when it comes to spoken english, it should also be easily discernible from he and she.

I vote we go with Futurama and Schkle.
