Secondly, there is no evidence that the Earth's crust has overturned

Well, the Earth did suffer an "Iron Catastrophe": The earth was mostly
or all molten from the heat of cometary impacts, and the denser iron
sank to the center, leaving a crust of other stuff on top. But that was
quite early in the Earth's history. The event neatly answers the
question of how mantle convection started up ... and slowed down.
