This I agree with. Even if you wanted to do a combined template PDF, I just took a look over the Official Occupational Template List and there are currently 554 templates listed there from dozens of sources. Even if you could compress each of those templates to 1/2 page each you'd be looking at a minimum of a 240 page PDF, and most of those templates take up well over 1/2 page.

You also are not solving the primary issue with GURPS character creation - that there are too many choices - you are just moving that problem to up one level. Now instead of offering too many advantages, disadvantages, and skills to easily sort through and make sense of you are providing too many character templates to meaningfully sort through.
