Interesting a concept, indeed. However, it also downplays the headache that was warned by the Ancient One that the knowledge of infinite multiverses also comes with the knowledge of infinite dangers. Perhaps as a side content to substitute for the Inn (or a possible integration if the monotony of challenges is starting to get into one's head) it might have room. Realistically -that is, for canonical (character) growth- a dangerous plot device that can work just as a deadly turnoff as much as a well-structured deus ex machina. Does it reach lostbelt threat levels? Is an alternate version of us trying to pull a UBW Archer on us (woe betide if they're EMIYA Alter in disillusionment)? Do we really need an MQ-class reset event? Those are the real questions to ask. If it was to overcome a trauma, I'd rather have some BARF rather than screw with continuum probabilities. A what-if scenario to save somebody that has already happened? Mostly self-gratification as it will normally only create a branch reality that'll flow separately from our origin reality (and can come with Homura or Elaina traumas depending on the scenario). How about a preemptive infliction of justice? Morally dubious at best, if not as self-gratifying as the previous example scenario. In short, I'd rather not face up against something outside our segment of the multiverse unless it really directly threatens our existence. Lore still has plenty of horrors in store even without having to mess with spacetime, so I'd rather have our hero measure the necessity of saving as many as possible instead of everything and risk biting more than what can be chewed and result is breakdowns such as the bad end when we make our choice on which Proclamation War faction to assist.
