Isn’t that what happens now when the cert expires? Except when it’s expired it’s a lot harder for users to figure out how to bypass the warnings so they can visit the site to find a contact link to report the issue.
Remember not every site is actively checked by their maintainer every day.
In an ideal world it shouldn’t be needed (and likewise UX for expired certs wouldn’t be needed), but in practice I think it has merit.
