This is not ideal for LEO as it's using the lunar rocket's (pretty heavy) second stage with 1 less engine as its upper stage hence bad mass fraction and TWR
They can probably optimize it like F9 v1.1 -> B5 though.
What's more important to them I guess is to have a reusable rocket that is crew rated asap.
YF-100 has actually failed twice now so it is below international standards (Merlin and RD-180) for crew.
