One thing I was surprised to learn is that it can be safe enough to split/crush adult pills for most kids (but probably not infants) - so the better option IMO would have been an education campaign on that and encouraging people to save the limited supply for infants

Many pharmacies were doing exactly this. And you're on the right track, but I think you'd want trained pharmacists doing this, not parents.
What would have made sense is investment/funding for pharmacists to formulate it for children rather than ordering a bulk supply of ####ty Turkish stuff that was never going to make it here in time anyways. Would have kept the money here and had a faster impact.
But hey, at least in the short term Smith got to score a few points dunking on the Feds.
