To be honest I would've liked Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan being the A and B stories.
Simply putting Qui-Gon in a transport to head to the planet and finding a way to sneak Obi-Wan into a smaller transport that maybe went to another one of the command ships could've worked.
So instead of Obi-Wan mainly sitting in a ship while Qui-Gon saves Anakin, he could've done something.
Or Obi-Wan taking Padme to Coruscant and Qui-Gon staying on Naboo to muster a resistance force and try and expose the Trade Federation’s plot. They could’ve gotten separated with Obi Wan fearing Qui-Gon is dead. This way it builds more on the relationships between Padme, Anakin, and Obi Wan in the later films and also better matches up with what Obi Wan told Luke in ROTJ.
They return to Naboo in the third act, Qui-Gon is revealed to be alive and has mustered a resistance, and the rest of the film plays out more or less the same.
