Don't create additional barriers to entry.

On the other hand, brushless isn't going away and it has drawn in some who wouldn't otherwise have tried 1/12th. Something I've seen around here is the 1/8th gas car guys coming into 1/12th in the off season. It's great because they are all experienced racers who can handle the speed; but most of them say without brushless they would not have bothered.
My solution would be to have a spec class with Silver or Black can TCS motors (they are almost as maintainance free as brushless
) for entry level and let the 13.5 and 4300 run with 19t.
