So, if I might summarize what you are saying:

This as-yet-unspecified tired light theory, which has neither specifics nor mechanism nor coherent mathematical formulation, is certain to predict time dilation of distant sources, even though no tired light model yet proposed does so, nor are there any specific reasons why we should believe that a new one would.

Is that about right?
