The only problem I see with it though is when you get promoted to Gold and above is that teams who have been hanging around there a while have had more time to earn even more PP and will be even stiffer competition for the newly promoted. Increasing the number of teams promoted and relegated might help that thought.
A team good enough to get promoted is still going to earn more achievements per season at bronze/silver than a team that is simply hanging around at gold, even if theirs come with a 33% boost. Obviously someone who has been playing the game for a longer period of time will have earned more points than a new player but that is kinda by design.

IMO the aspect that needs to be addressed is all the players who aren't high level whales who don't want to be promoted because of the negative impact it has on their PP income and future ability to improve their team, aka "getting stuck". That to me is a serious issue when thinking about the long term health of the game mode. I know developers are keeping an eye on what people are saying and thinking about ways to improve. Maybe they've concluded that every system will have some drawback to it and they are satisfied overall with how it is currently working so a change isn't necessary, which is certainly their right to do.
