However, on further consideration, one problem with this would be that the scaling of Di points is not limited by Monk level. Even a Monk 3/Fighter17 Multiclass would get lots of Di points.
D&D (2024) What's not going to cost discipline points for the Monk to do now?

Not sure that's simpler than just +1 per turn.
Hmmm...
What if we did Omega strike instead?
When you roll initiative, you have 0 DP.
You gain 1 DP for every 10' you move.
You deal bonus damage equal to the number of DP you have.
The longer combat goes, the more powerful you become.

So I could move 30, use one of points I just generated to bonus action step of the wind, move 30 more into combat, and thus have 5 points left over along with my attack action, on the first round of combat at level 1?
This seems broken. Plus the silliness of having to move your character around like Sonic to charge up.

The only Monk feature in UA6 that has both a discipline point cost and a limited number of uses per day is Wholeness of Body. So, asked and answered, I guess. You could maybe argue that Stunning Strike’s once per turn limit, or the bonus action cost on Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind count as double-charging, but I very much doubt those are going away.

What about other ways to charge up?

I would love to see something along the lines of:
Flurry of Blows: Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you may make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action, as long as you have at least 1 Discipline Point. You may instead expend 1 Discipline Point to include the two unarmed strikes as part of your Attack action. This feature cannot be use more than once per Turn. (Don't want any Fighter/Haste abuse).
Patient Defense: As long as you have at least 1 Discipline Point, you may use a Bonus action to take the Dodge action. When you are attacked, but before the hit is confirmed, you may use your Reaction and expend 1 Discipline Point to take the Dodge action.
Step of the Wind: As long as you have at least 1 Discipline Point, you may use a Bonus action take the Dash or Disengage action. You may expend 1 Discipline Point to take both Actions. In addition, your jump distance is doubled for the turn.
Flurry of Blows: Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you may make two unarmed strikes as a bonus action, as long as you have at least 1 Discipline Point.

I would rather have; when you take Attack action you can make two unarmed attacks instead of one weapon attack.
at 11th level 3 attacks instead of 1.
this is a big no for me.
Might as well say; attacks vs you have disadvantage.
This way, just give monks rogues Cunning action as this is even better than that.

spend a Bonus action or one attack form your Attack action to regain 1 ki point.
This gives you controllable way to regain points and out of combat it's 3 pts per round so you can have full power 99% for the next battle.
