I'm glad tipping culture isn't required for you. I agree with the cons of tipping. If you have practical advice I will consider it, but I don't think not tipping workers who are currently depending on the tip for income is the play. I do not have a magic wand that will change payment schemes. I can lower said unpredictability by not tipping at all I suppose, but that doesn't seem the right approach either.
If tipping was stopped all around this would force employers to be responsible for the pay of their employees.
This can only be achieved by holding the employers accountable. Buy from companies that pay fair wages. Don't buy from those that rely on tips. Vote with your money.
I have known one restaurant in my city that (temporarily) went tipless - that's it.
