There are many situations in which it could be useful to have a way to quantify the quality, rather than just number of articles, of a Wikipedia edition. If the whole formula is flawed, we should find a better one.

To me, this indicates a problem with the metrics used to calculate depth.
I'd say it indicates not that the depth calculations need to be tweaked, but that they are intrinsically inaccurate and not meaningful and should be disregarded altogether. They foster inter-project competition more than they accomplish any other task; I personally don't think making projects competitive (and encouraging work that does little besides increase the depth mark) is the way to go.
