The latter problem has very little to do with tenure. The latter problem is simply due to the inescapable fact that many people want careers in science while the funding allows for very few relatively badly paid jobs.
That will not be solved if you remove tenure. People will still be badly paid. But now everyone will be badly paid and scared for their entire careers, while before a lucky few could segue in a career of being badly paid but with safe jobs.
