How would we go about assessing whether such changes prove harmful or
helpful? What metrics does ARIN collect under this policy which can be
analyzed and presented here so we can consider expanding it to larger
transfers? Does no justification mean no documentation?

What makes you think /16 is the right place to start testing this
idea? Traditionally /24 was the last no-justification request
accepted. Why is that not the right place to start testing a new
no-justification regime?

For now I OPPOSE the proposal as written but I'd like to hear more.
