IAR isn't for a regular, predictable, situation where a generic agreed solution would be better, and not for a sourcing issue or "systematic problem" like this. More and more often there is a chance (small in any given case, large overall) that important information for an article may be blog published, so we do have a genuine issue here.
IAR is a rule that was written early-on in the Wikipedia because particularly then, the rules weren't very good, and this was intended to allow the Wikipedia to proceed before better rules could be drafted.
