Need some clarification here...
What is temporary?
Big buildings(Rat, Tron, GotG)?
Skyliner?
What would be temporary, cause none of them are

Terrible route IMO.

Not that the attractions are temporary but that there are plans down the road to add things that will solve the problem. When budgets allow.

Oh, well I don't see how you are going to hide France from the Skyliner, nor Tron building from speedway or Contemporary very easily....
Nor GotG from rest of park.
More paint?

Definitely. Imagine if you scanned in and got screened at the entrance and exited inside the park. A direct line between the main hub and Germany/Italy would have been much more efficient and the theming perfect.
Did you ever the bad show from the mk skyway?
Dozens of times over the years. It was fascinating to a younger me back in the day.

The skyliner is likely here to stay. I like the kinetics above rat more than I thought I would. That is really the only "problem" spot. The telephoto views posted here are pure grandstanding.
GotG is one of the easier fixes IMO. Since even from the most exposed angle you are seeing only a modest percentage of the building. That could easily have theming added to it. Either physically attached or on free standing supports like a billboard. The ToT makeover at DCA is a good template.
Tron from the Contemporary seems a bit nitpicky. You've always been able to see back stage of SM for instance. And other backstage areas.
I personally think there are plans for the speedway but those would be down the road. Heh. Possibly theming or, my hope, a brand new attraction with more elevation.

Same. But I remember my first impression that stuck with me was how bad the rooftops looked and how that destroyed the illusion.
I really should have been an Imagineer. 
Backstage France and Morocco is a permanent view.

You don’t need a telephoto lens to see the bad views from the Skyliner.

Epcot isn't a castle park. I agree with you and wanted a Hogwarts Express type solution. But they never asked for my opinion.

As mentioned, a Hogwarts Express solution would have been ideal. And likely cheaper than busses long term.

Okay, wait a minute. I have to be missing something here.
How in the world can you do a Hogwarts Express solution at WDW linking EPCOT, DHS and the hotels they have linked?? Seriously?

I will never say they would never fix it. Worst case, nobody complains about the Soarin' buildings anymore.

Break them up into segments. Small skyliner runs and short light rail segments.
What doesn't make sense is the convoluted means to get from DHS to the Epcot entrance compared to the point to point "crows fly" distance. It is a very strange solution. IMO of course.

I'm still in my denial phase on this and Cosmic Rewind since they're so ugly and so easy to fix. I've moved to acceptance for Harmonious, sadly.
With the skyliner views in particular, the vertical height is already there on the show building to not require a complete buildout of structures. They could literally just plaster a more dimensional facade along the front and side and no one would be able to see the lack of roofing or interior structure.
