We don't have the capacity to handle a big bulk increase in pending changes as proposed by gbfv on en-wiki and presumably others as well - and making very short-length blocks on proxies would require a major increase in Steward time, which a quick review of the average myriad steward backlogs indicates is not really a resource in sufficient supply to be profligate with.
Most of the steward blocks I see are already less than a month, and sometimes less than a day. (I'm not sure how they're deciding which length to use.) See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T303774 regarding the frequency of blocks.
