Your proposal is actually a four-class system, with three tests:
two written and one code.

I call it a two-class system, "Basic" and "Standard", each of which
could be endorsed for HF operation upon passing a 5WPM Morse exam. If
it suits your agenda, feel free to call that four classes.

The only incentive offered for more
technical tests is more power.

Incentive? I consider incentive licensing to be a spectaculure failure,
mostly an attempt at "social engineering" by ARRL/FCC, and my proposal
is not based on "incentives". The difference in power levels is based
on safety issues --- the Basic test material probably would not
prepare a licensee to safely deal with "full gallon" powered stations.
(As an aside, I do not belive the current Technican exam prepares an
applicant for these power levels either.)
