My question about this draft is whether there is available code
and implementation experience with SCSP, which was defined in 1998.

If there isn't code and experience, since it is a quite complex
design, I would be a bit worried.

On the other hand, I believe that something of the complexity
of SCSP is absolutely required to provide reliable synchronisation.
There is no simple, lightweight way to do this reliably.
