If regular law is the ultimate arbiter of the correct location of funds in this system, then we don't need this complex network of energy-hungry computers constantly double-checking each others' work to make a financial system. We can just use regular computers, like before.

Isn't it a consequence? If the entire foundation of your system is irreversibility and finality, then doesn't it effective becomes true? (unless you are big enough to force a network-wide rollback...).
