A cofferdam like that was actually Plan A. They tried it and it failed.

That was placed over the broken riser and they didn't plan for the hydrate build up. With lessons learned and increasing the size of the dome seems like they could make that idea work.

The cofferdam in Plan A didn't have the methanol pumps that the current tophat-riser scheme is using.
The cofferdam in Plan A was also used over the riser, not the BOP, if I remember correctly. That type of partial solution is obviously no longer an option.
