Probably not. We can easily imagine a universe (and probably live in
one) in which this is not the case. So while such a mechanism might
solve the problem in practice in such an alternate universe, it wouldn't
solve it in principle. The principle is the important point. Even if
the information is not destroyed, no-one could reconstruct what fell
into the black hole. That's not the point, the point is the principle.
Also, in such a universe, one could perhaps create a space where the
black hole WOULD sufficiently radiate (even to the point of exploding).
One can think of many such solutions: for example, suppose that there is
a minimum mass for black holes, and the universe collapses before they
reach their Page time. It would "solve" the problem in that universe,
but not in any fundamental sense.
