That said, I think it's a more reasonable approach, easier to justify and explain. I also think it could uncover mitigation strategies that are underappreciated today. Hopefully someone can point me to really good existing work in this vein, or will do some and tell me about it!

This approach would ignore all but the most important dimension (e.g. lives). It only ranks on that one outcome because it can't value anything more than lives.
