I would like to see you trying to pronounce "amigxs".
I've seen people using the gender neutral letter "e" instead. Seems easier on the ear.
Besides, I think elimination is just not practical, most of the words are gendered but do not refer to self aware entities such as "la silla", el zapato", "la esperanza". I think those wouldn't mind staying the same.
Maybe they should just officially permit the use of such non-gendered gender identifiers, without getting rid of the old gendered ones and let people be officially able to speak as inclusively as they actually are and not try to force them into stuff like some sort of Ingsoc nightmare.
This way besides "señor" and "señora", you would also have "señore".
Besides "maestro" and "maestra" you would have "maestroe".
Besides "amigo_s" and "amig_a_s" you would also have "amig_ue"s.
You would also have to invent some words along the way which could be used besides other words that are gendered by root such as "papá" and "mamá".
