"Makeshift", "simplistic" or "inferior" are effective ways to describe a solution you think is less than ideal.

Using the phrase "poor man's" for those meanings suggests to me that poor people get/deserve inferior things, which IMO is incongruous with CiviCRM's goals. Also, why "man"? 🤷‍♂️

Avoiding that terminology won't just be more inclusive, it will better express what you really meant!
