Can you explain how cases like https://osu.ppy.sh/s/495269 should be handled?
It is a good song that is worth mapping, the difficulty doesn't support above a very light rain, and it would require 6 diffs to reach 2:45
Under the current setup it would just lead to content bloat.
I do agree that a minimum effort standard should be enforced, but this isn't the solution unless it's adjusted
edit: In addition, a song will not have the same highest level of difficulty. Take a generic anime tv size map: Standard mode would generally have a low-mid 5* top diff, taiko would have a 4* max, ctb 4.5, and mania 3.5-4*.
Having to do a spread in one of the other modes would be even more challenging because there's less difficulty gaps to cover, leading to more redundant content
(Note the difficulty thing was for a tv size length, but the same difficulty scaling would apply to 30-60 second songs, resulting in less room to work with)
The proposal does not work in its current form and needs changes. I don't know what those changes should be but the solution for something subjective as this isn't easy
