If anything, it would allow players to catch up and obtain gear of appropriate levels, no? One of the main complaints that I've seen in any Novice Network channel is from players (including Mentors) that are grouping with other undergeared and undeveloped characters.
If you are overleveled for the current area, gear should not be a problem. All story content is level syncked. There is no point to staying low level just to get "gear of appropriate levels" because the content you do will (1) sync you and (2) give you gear appropriate to that sync level. The cause of people being undergeared is never going to be because they are overleveled for the content. If anything, being overleveled should make it easier to be appropriately geared because any higher level gear you have will sync down.
