Keep the AC bonus untyped. This helps the monk in many ways and specifying it only limits options they might want later for dodge or evasive builds. It's not that over the top.

The unarmed progression is better since one of the most useful feats that stacks with it is Improved Natural Attack. But you could always lessen the effect of the Masterful Strike to add to the progression under some circumstantial situation. Since its still useful but not something I'd replace with unarmed strikes.

How is this for an ability?

Void Zen Strike: By focusing their effort on a single enemy, a monk can strike with deadly force. A monk may as a full round action select a target, perform a concentration check, and then make a flurry attack with unarmed or special monk weapons based on the following table:

20-24: +1 size category
25-29: +2 size categories
30-34: +3 size categories
35-39: +4 size categories
40+: +5 size categories

This ability provokes attacks of opportunity from any creature other than the target.

EDIT: Keep in mind the flurry would be only 2-3 attacks.

So a level 20 monk with 2d10 unarmed would have this progression as a successful check? When using the action? This is also not including INA right?

2d10 -> 4d8 (+1) -> 6d8 (+2) -> 8d8 (+3) -> 12d8 (+4) -> 16d8 (+5) (colossal+)

Limit it to +3 size categories (sometimes enough is enough) but let them use their Wis for the Concentration check.
