That's a good point about refining the OHV pushrod engine. It still has advantages over an OHC configuration, compactness being one of the most important.
It's a different evolutionary path, not a throwback. Roaches are crude, but they've kept up and are doing pretty well in many ecosystems.
About Toyota: maybe they should've borrowed from their NASCAR V8 for the new Tundra. Might have saved them some money. Might have fixed those camshafts too! I bet they could do a good OHV V8 if they tried.
