It still can be, with a suitable political will.

Which specific promises were undeliverable, and for what reason?

So why say "most promises of Brexit were undeliverable" then if you don't know what they are ?

There is no solution to it that doesn't cross somebody's red line.
Smart borders would be a perfect solution.

Smart Borders would , but are years away, especially with just in time goods.
They will not help with sanitary and phytosanitary checks.

I would have walked away Harbal.
Even the EU recommended smart borders as part of their Smart Border 2.0 initiative but they saw an opportunity to weaponise the Irish border to try and harvest the troubles again to stop us leaving and in doing so annexing part of our union
May liked the idea so she agreed to the plot of the Irish backstop which would keep us in the EU forever against the will of the people. The reality is very much different... and there was never a customs border there anyway, and there doesn't need to be in the future.
The EU and the UK are breaking the law and the GFA with this farce of a border down the Irish Sea.
