Since it’s widely accepted that the word “literally” can be used to add emphasis, we need another word that can be used when you want to make it clear that you really mean “literally” in the original sense.

That’s a subjective observation. Most people have no problem understanding a word that has different meanings (so, almost every single word) based on context.
Anyway, this has been fun but I’m all out of time to waste on you! Good luck to you :)
Most people have no trouble walking, the invention of the wheelchair was still a step in the right direction because people exist for whom that is not true. A more comprehensible language is objectively better whether it makes a difference for you or not.
