Now, P0847R0 do have a reference to UFCS (2.13) and that explains why UFCS
are not enough to solve the problem on it's own but R1 have dropped that
section.

When calling a deduced this member

  instance.deduced_this_member(a, b);

then that is interpreted as

   deduced_this_member(instance, a, b);

This looks exactly like what N4165 proposed albeit restricted to only
deduced this members and that is why I asked. It could very well be that
limiting it to only deduced this members solves all the problems.
