My own thoughts on this are generally quite supportive, because as much as we might idealize perfect, impeccable response times it's more difficult than it may seem, since people are prone to having real life events transpire and not constant availability. There's been a lot of diligence in ensuring that journals are being reviewed and answered in a timely fashion, but ultimately there will always be unhappiness with that system because it's more subjective and prone to human mistake.
So long as the more lore intensive hiddens are barred behind applications I think this would be fine, similar to what was done in Spires. An application with sufficient development towards the desired ability, highlighting your achievements through logs and whatnot.
That said, I do think there should be a way to reward players who drive plot but don't fight extensively. A lot of the abilities that would be offered through this automated system would be not as lore intensive. So that issue probably wouldn't really be one anyways, since a person developing a mythic+ tier ability could simply apply for it to be reviewed by the team.
I like the idea above about nominating those who are positively impacting the plot of others, and as a team we can push forward people that we see actively doing things but who might not be the greatest or most able combatant.
A lot of stuff to be worked out, but I actually think it might be a positive change since journal issues have been a hot topic for a while now. I hope that we can find a way to address and remedy those concerns without making anything worse.
