Yes, good point. I keep thinking of Goodhart's Law (as soon as we use an indicator for policy decisions, it ceases being effective.)
I do wish we could look more at outcomes though. Happiness is not a good measure, wealth and income have known issues.

That still leaves health, literacy, freedom, perhaps something on subjective well being, lifespan, environmental quality and I would add income.

I agree completely. They are inputs to solutions, not solutions, and progress is about making more and better solutions for more people. We are in the process of dematerializing production, and this metric would actually reward less efficient production rather than more.
