But what about when an URL change, redirects slow down, might be getting outdated and not working anymore at all and so. Bookmark tools such as pinboard and raindrop can handle this well related to its history, interactions and so.

URLs break, that's what the internet does. There is no way around it. Even when URLs don't change the content inside them can change drastically.

One good solution is to keep a WARC copy of the referenced page stored somewhere, there is a DVM spec for that and I was working on such DVM but couldn't finish yet.

The generic solution is: make a new bookmark, keep the old one as a piece of history or delete it entirely.

If you're going to say a centralized system that is just a database can change the way it stores internal data and therefore it's better than fine, but Nostr is not such a thing and cannot ever have all these "features". Nostr is just a system that allows everybody to shout stuff so others can read, tradeoffs exist.
