Suggestion: an abbreviated process if limited remedies are sought, such as topic bans, or article or revert probation, and the full process only when banning or desysop is to be considered.
One doesn't always know going in what the evidence will be, and what remedies are likely to pop out.
People's behavior during the arbitration can cause remedies to be proposed or adopted which didn't seem likely beforehand.
That said... if you're flexible about kicking to the full process if it crosses that threshold (and to some degree starting over) then that could work.
