Such introspection after seven years of use is healthy but should be done with a unbiased mindset.
If someone had made up their mind that EBS is the root of the problems, then no amount of rational reasoning will persuade them to change their opinion. A lot of time this happens when the original project champion is gone and the EBS becomes a convenient scapegoat.
In my experience, moving from EBS to a custom application(s) typically won't solve the problems. The typical problems (and solutions) are
1) configuration (which can be solved by reimplementation if even the basic configurations were wrong) OR
2) business processes that were designed as part of the implementation (which can be solved by redesigning the processes) OR
3) lack of control /monitoring mechanisms (which can be solved by re-education or by implementing monitoring mechanisms)
If configurations were a problem, you can take this opportunity to implement R12.
And remember that Customizations often are a big factor in your decision.
Hope this helps,
