I think this is all pretty reasonable. At the same time, "if we had cheese we could make a ham-and-cheese sandwich, if we had ham." I don't know how many people with the skills to evaluate applications would want to take even a paid job investigating and monitoring other people's work. I appreciate that you see this as an operations problem; most people are much more dogmatic about "grants bad".
