I've been wishing from the start that they had tied both dynamax AND tera to hold items since the start. In the cases of Megas and Z-moves, that tradeoff was what made the mechanic work. In this case though, I think Smogon implementing such a thing would be too transformative to the mechanic's...

Completely agree with this, and I believe that problems beyond this are problems with individual Pokemon which can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.. If certain Pokemon are able to subvert their counters or just blast offense in ways that prove too powerful even with the team preview's...

I would say "not really" though it may lead to the creation of another tier or something. If there is a singular mechanic pushing all of those Pokemon over the edge though, then it's a problem with the mechanic, and that's what Smogon would ban based on historical tiering practices.

Because it sets a very different precedent to implement something that is already functionally the case on cartridge in the official format, rather than Smogon just inventing something that doesn't exist anywhere else, even if you don't implement EVERYTHING that is functionally the case in that...
