I put the first post on the fediverse at the same time, and have been introduced to a couple of different people who have successfully purchased fields for rewilding, as modern commons, and been able to grant permissions for wild camping.
So apparently it's not a totally dumb idea. One of these folk also has solicitors now trained in this, and is able to access funding from farmers, developments and councils for biodiversity investments for part of the areas bought. He's also a regular bikepacker and nomadic worker, the guy who has done this, not the solicitor.
I'm sure there's still a maze of impossibile rules, but now I know a couple of people who have managed to navigate it in the past.
