This proposal is based on the key, and possibly fallacious, assumption that 90% of admins are sane sensible quiet people who know Acting Like A Tosser when it's pointed out to them.

Given recent conflicts on the wiki, particularly the surprisingly nasty one on RFAr right now, I doubt it would *guarantee* sanity. It might be something.
But ... I'm still waiting for anything resembling verifiable evidence that there are clear targets for such a process. That is to say: evidence diffs of problematic behaviour, not just ranting on the mailing list that admins are an evil abusive cabal.
I dunno. I agree with the general broad thrust of this complaint; there are too many "young admins" generally being... overzealous. I'm not sure I can really quantify it, but I know the feeling.
(Maybe this is just me feeling a little burned out; I don't know. But there is something there, even if I don't feel it as strongly...)
