I'm not sure that this is sufficient if it means uncoordinated changes, or that that works in every context. This says nothing about cross-layer coordination or managing trade-offs at different layers.

This is another reason to avoid making such strong recommendations.  I sympathize with the sentiment, but as a general statement I can't support this recommendation.  Capturing this as a goal and explaining the consequences of not achieving it should suffice.
