The shame board is not smart for two simple reasons. It affects children, and they could quickly be bullied in school that their dad has abandoned them, as kids have internet too and often know how to use it better than parents. It also affects ability of dad to earn money to pay the support, thus once again affects the child. Same goes for driver's license - some people need it to get to/from work, some people use it for work.
If you really want something fair regarding the support payments, the law should be changed. There shouldn't be a need for motion with 8 months wait when there is significant material change - in most cases you won't even have money to bring that motion. There should be equal parenting from the very start. Then we will talk.
I get that you don’t like the idea of paying support and that you are being responsible. You are a good parent who understands and accepts their responsibilities. The publicly shamed dads are not and you should be angry that they have been allowed to walk away and get away with it. These individuals are the ones who give good parents a bad name.
