As I look at old videos of my swing it's actually apparent that my shoulder turn was not too flat.
I have five keys for the swing:
1) Take the club away with both hands
2) Maintain my spine angle
3) Maintain knee flex
4) Start the downswing with my hips
5) Post on my front leg to make sure I get through the shot
It's usually a fool's errand to **** with the essential nature of your swing. I tried it four years ago to the same kind of disastrous results. My only hope is that I get back to where I was before in the next month or so.

I know it sounds too simple, and you seem knowledgeable about the golf swing, but are you staying down through impact and keeping your eye on the ball? And when I say keeping your eye on it, you visually see the club smack through the ball on each swing, and you are not looking up too soon to see your shot? It is a common problem and could be why you are having inconsistent contact. Having a good grip, shoulder turn, straight firm left arm, good weight shift, and staying down through impact with eyes on the ball is 99% of the golf swing.
