Thank you Kalani - that has answered my questions and concerns - as long as the AL Leaders are willing to revisit and re evaluate this, I am ok. Still has holes in it but at least it was not a deflection.
It may be 2-3 years before this particular issue is revisited, as it is way too early to tell whether this pre-emptive solution was warranted, as we only have the SCAG and a few spells and races from the EEPG to work with at this time. We will need to see how things look once we have a good 6-10 supplemental rules sources (at least) before we will know whether power creep and balance issues are being averted, or whether it was an unnecessary precaution.
Honestly though, based on my past history with D&D over the past 2 1/2 decades, I fully expect that hindsight will show that the Story Origin mechanic was a valid method of pre-emptively addressing power creep and balance issues.
