As it currently is to craft two star items you need favor mats from both botanist and miner. Ten of each at that for just the normal quality ones. You get Five favor per Fifty scrips and the nodes aren't even guaranteed in the 15 min buff. You get to run around like mad depleting nodes hoping one spawns so you can do it all over again to hope for another (I think the lowest amount I heard of in my FC was THREE nodes in 15min). And on top of all of this most recipes require more than just five silk/whatever so you need even more gathered mats from botanist and miner. The amount of scrips required to craft any final product is insane. And it requires a metric ton of mats on the gathering end. Which would probably require more than one person to happily give their mats to the greater good. If you honestly think people are going to hand over scrip mats so easily you're living in a fantasy land I'd love to be in.

Honestly the only way the red scrips will work if people adopted some type of communism, but that only looks good on paper.

Let's be real, people are and can be greedy and selfish. All this created is a golden opportunity for people to make a ton of gil, which doesn't actually help other than making the mats 'available' if you can afford it.
