There is already a very simple solution to solve being "on call": pay the damn person for the hours they need to be ready to answer the phone. That's how Doctors and Firefighters (and developers!) do in places I lived. If I need to be sober or awake, or can't put my phone on mute... well, then I'm obviously on the clock. I also don't mind my company texting or calling for emergencies, but babysitting the system for free on PagerDuty like some SV companies ask to is incredibly stupid.
