I agree with you. I prefer the roller coaster ride of last year. A lot of people complained about that, though, so it was "fixed" this year, so the satisfied customers from last year could be made miserable this year.
The only requirement to maintain PeL at 40 teams is exactly 24 diamond leagues and the number of teams that turnover could be anything at that point using whatever numbers work level to level to maintain the pyramid. I think the math is quite flexible, but I could be wrong about that.
