It isn't obviously bad, but feels weird to me. That said, a scheme which would work would be to have a fixed minimum fee of satoshis/vbyte which is required to be repaid out by the miner into a pool and they get back a fixed fraction of what was in that pool. The pool could simply be a rolling coin which keeps the balance. That's still a bit ugly but doesn't lessen block size significantly, is fairly coherent, and is a soft fork. It's the best emergency measure I'm aware of.
