The alternatives to the current system is have 3 divisions from the start of the season and play everyone 3 times meaning 21 game competition and promote relegate at the end of the season.
Or two divisions play each other twice for a 22 game season and promote/relegate and end of the year.

The 3 division system would be more like for like but it would take longer for a club to go from the bottom to the top or top to the bottom.

My personal preference is 3 divisions from the start of the season and hold a meaningful competition for all teams and clubs.
The 18's in group C play 5 games with multiple byes so the finish is at the same time as everyone else. No Wallsend or NIAS makes it a joke.
Agree with you about 3 divisions of 8 (as long as there are 8 in each group) playing three times. Top 2/3/4 promoted with equivalent demoted. Numbers up and down open to discussion as each have pros and cons.
