Best known RSA attacks don't fit this model. The model "proves hardness" of many trivial things. Burden is on model to demonstrate utility.

You're asking for more than is available for, e.g., RSA. Of course one can compose key IND (the "NTRU assumption") with 1-sample Ring-LWR.

Am I? ROM proof for simple KEM built from RSA is down to RSA inversion assumption. [AM09] proved equiv with factoring for generic attacks.

"Inversion assumption" = "OW-CPA", so we're talking about the same basic starting point. AM09 was entirely undermined by 2009 Jager-Schwenk.

"Entirely" is much too strong. They showed limitations of such proofs but went on to use them themselves for, e.g. hardness of QR problem.
