Thanks for your generous reply.

If you must, just increase the per-stack value of GL by 33% at level 76, which amounts to exactly the same capacity, but without the added clunk.
This is indeed a brilliant idea considering the work to bring all 4 GL stacks after losing them. 3 GL stacks would make the monk blend in the fight faster which is not the case currently imo.

True, just @SpeckledBurd mentioned, diverging Mantra's effects would cause confusion in fights as to whether to use it for healing or damage.

Thanks again.
