Why later flight-deck subframes do not explain the Type 23 problem

A later subframe approach is distinguished from the Type 23 flight-deck arrangement.

Question

Would a honeycomb-style flight-deck subframe accommodate aircraft with different landing loads?

Short answer

That is described as a later approach; the Type 23 generation used a different arrangement.

Notes

A viewer suggests that a honeycomb-style subframe should allow for uncertainty about which aircraft will land. That approach is accepted as a modern system. The Type 23 example belongs to an earlier generation with a different arrangement, so it does not establish how later flight decks distribute landing loads.
