Maintaining a Linux distro is a lot of work, even if it's a variant of another distro. The more you diverge from the upstream, the more work it is. Note that your examples of distros that adopted PaX/grsecurity are also your examples of distros that have been abandoned. You need to pick your battles. Being based on Debian oldstable, which is still receiving security support while being a stable base to work on, is a fine decision. Not introducing a big change like grsecurity which will inevitably lead to having to tweak dozens of packages to continue to work properly (and thus have to maintain your own forks of said packages, without being able to easily pull security updates from upstream), is also a reasonable decision. I invite you to create your own distro if you disagree. Please show me your up to date, privacy and security oriented distro; I'd love to see a comparison of how your style of maintainership will differ from that of Tails.
