Careful, there have been discussions about making ilvl sync stronger as you suggest. I agree that ilvl sync should be made stricter to preserve the original mechanics, and have posted that before. Unfortunately there is a group of very vocal end game players who would just die if they could not faceroll older content in a tiny fraction of the intended time, they tend to shout the idea down.

I also agree with the poster that pointed out that the situation with Garuda HM could contribute to many players ignoring mechanics in other content.
