I wanted to react to this thread for a long time, but I have difficulties understanding the post. So I hoped for some other knowledgeable people to get a discussion going but that never happened ... Okay, then I'll go step by step, starting with a very simple question: What is the exact purpose of the puzzle to secure the sidechain? It looks to me like it the "puzzle transaction" is located on-chain (on the To 777 Win chain, not the sidechain), and that it is created to order the peg-in and peg-out transactions, to prevent double spends. It looks like a simple form of merged mining. But in BIP300/301 (hashrate escrow) the miners mine the peg-ins and peg-outs validating the sidechain rules, but without an additional puzzle as far as I know (only the "puzzle" to find the block). My uneducated guess is that the puzzle is to ensure that a sidechain miner validates the sidechain rules, without a mainchain miner having to interfere. The mainchain miner thus only checks if the peg-ins and peg-outs are correct, but not "where they go/where they come from on the sidechain". But what if a miner validates the sidechain state incorrectly? How does the puzzle help to prevent that?
