I proposed something along these lines, a few years ago, and did R&D on it. But I did not see funding so I stopped. If anyone has funding for me I'll take it up again. Had some pretty neat and useful feature ideas.

Cryptonote currencies like Monero have elastic block sizes for this reason

GRC

How many simulations would you like, we already know large blocks propogate fine and at some point they will introduce orphans to a less optimized part of the network

> a less optimized part of the network

To me that reads "smaller miners", which means further centralization of mining.

yes, and so does orphans

But it doesn't mean they propagate "fine" if it pushes smaller participants off the network. That is exactly what cryptos like Bitcoin are trying to avoid.

I didn't take a stance at all.

I said exactly what would happen and that the tests exist.
