You are assuming Euclidean space, the Moon moves
relative to the Earth as a result of at least two vectors, which
may not add as expected.
Any and all thought experiments are useful, and
are one of the major sources of new ideas for experiment
and even more thought.
I would be happy to think about any other mechanism
of gravitation that does not require undetectable and mysterious
waves or forces.
General Relativity assures that there are ample reasons
not to cling to Newtonian concepts, even though Newtonian
mechanics will continue to be the most used and most useful.
And I see no reason to be satisfied with mysteries of
gravitation remaining a mystery. Everything has an
explanation, everything operates by a mechanism.
