That said my approach does inject a more objective framework that I think fits certain kind of games and genres, so I could see it as a way to lessen the oversight needed.

What you say is partially right for my campaigns, but only partially. I did considerable oversight in a 75-point campaign about 14-year-old magically talented boys enrolling in a medieval university with a Faculty of Magic; being an active GM who works with players on appropriate character creation is part of my approach at any point value, from 50 to 1500.
