If complexity is increasing you are going in the wrong direction unless that complexity maps directly to a real problem or constraint domain. Cryptocurrencies are just simple accounting systems and they run on general purpose computers, so no and no. I don't think this whole direction works unless you can find an approach that doesn't add much complexity or even simplifies things in some way. I feel the same way about byzantine proof of stake schemes. This is definitely an engineering intuition that I have, but I think I can ground it to some extent in thermodynamics and learning theory. If the universe isn't mandating complexity, it's superfluous.
