What you're saying here sounds to me like "I think the current moderators are bad, get rid of them all and get new ones who will be much better"

I have some ...doubts about how well something like this would work in practice. Burning large systems down and starting over is generally not more efficient than tweaking the system you have.

Governments are burnt down every four years
They’re not. The political leaders at the top are, but the civil servants who actually keep the lights on and everything running stick around from administration to administration.

We’ve learnt a lot about the necessity for institutional knowledge and continuation over the years.

Reddit with a whole new set of mods will be a worse experience overall. The largest and most general subs will probably be alright but good luck finding mods for the more focused and specialist subs.
