The more I read about the explanations of the two stances, the more it seems like semantics to me.

1. Christ is 100% consubstantial with both God and man, having divine will, energies, nature, and so on, and having human will, soul, energies, nature, mind and so on.

2. The Word became flesh, and so it is right to speak of God being born, God suffering, God being buried, and God being Resurrected.

I think we can all agree on these points, and if any formula is understood to be an expression of them, then how can there be any problem?

You'd have to ask the people of your communion that. As far we are concerned, the Christological problems have essentially been solved, and now we are quibbling over the 'how' of reunion.

See the interview with HH Pope Shenouda III in the following video, beginning at 1:39 (the earlier material is unrelated to this question):
