This was where I ended up also. As Barry and others have discussed on the
asrg, the write-side is throw-away assets. The "return path" is where the
persistence of the names used is greater and the value to the scheme is
realized.

Yeah. But that's where registrars and registries can interpose on the
scheme. The static 2LD with a twinkling constelation of 3LDs is still
vulnerable. A run of twinkling 2LDs is harder for registrars and/or
registries to break, cross registries and registrars. There may be
fewer points of failure in the NS-set used for a particular campaign.
