It's a bad idea, since certain portions of the community cannot be trusted to avoid forcing/threatening other players to push to grab every upgrade as quickly as possible.

Replace it with nothing. Just let people gear as fast as they want. Even if you max your tome gear in one day you can't upgrade it all in one day. Not to mention the people that upgrade their gear casually with the 24 man raid can only upgrade one piece a week. To be clear I'm not a fan of loot lockouts either but one small cap unlock at a time :)
My bigger beef is with raid tokens for gear. I would rather have this: Complete X raid 10 times for 1 gear token, once per week limit. This at least guarantees someone won't be trying that one raid more than 10 times just to win the RNG token.
I should say that this is coming from the fact that I recently switched from SAM to PLD. My SAM is in for Sceaven Gear including the weapon, and gearing up my tank is taking forever. Needing two weeks for a body and leg piece and then one week for every other piece it's taking a very long time.
Use mendacity gear and upgrade it, get crafted gear and upgrade it, alphas ape gear, eureka armor.
There are many ways to gear now, and since you said extremes and raids are full of toxicity, you probably aren't doing that content, so you don't need the gear quickly since you are just doing the easier content.
My Pld was in full Omega normal gear before I started. Except for one ring. I refuse to buy crafted gear and I'd just as soon delete my account before I go back into Eureka. I do do EX Primals but not Savage Raids. And yes I can do the Primals just fine... it's just bugging me to not be in full sceaven gear lol.
