TBH, the specific approach sounds like a bad one. You can easily swamp a server with small requests and the big ones will never run, which are probably important. It would just incentivize engineers to write smaller queries while your older (Unmaintained ones) ones would never run. Same with deprioritizing queries that are older in the queue. You’d end up deprioritizing people who’ve already been waiting, so they’d likely try again instead of waiting. Thus you end up with the feedback loop this article talks about, where you’re amplifying the problem instead of addressing it.
