Should the game be switching to Run-based WAR (rWAR) when evaluating pitchers for things like All-Star appearances and post-season awards?
What do you think?

This is actually an issue in real life. Stuff+ and BABIP tend to have an inverse correlation, meaning that if you have better stuff, you tend to run a lower BABIP. This is the limitation of FIP-based statistics.
But the run based stats have obvious issues too. That's why I include both WAR on my pages.
