What if you changed how YC operates so even more of the startups flamed out before Demo Day? An internal Demo Day, perhaps? If the public Demo Day is now fraught with too much expectation perhaps it should be treated as a PR event rather than a goal for the startups to shoot for. This doesn't solve the other problem you mention, which is that you'd be surrounded by people flaming out, which would be stressful in a lot of dimensions.
