I like this proposal in general but I'm a bit wary as to how much dev time would have to be invested to get this coded.
Did you have a chance to talk to cryptomancer or yabapmatt about this?

We do know that the NPE will be a priority for 2024 and this somewhat is a part of that although it obviously also affects the old player experience.

So if that's something the team would be willing to implement and that could be done with a reasonable amount of dev work, then I would totally support it.
