Since we are NOT talking about reclaiming addresses, only whether orgs
are permitted to get more, I agree with Scott: market economics will
do at least as good a job guaranteeing efficient utilization as
pushing paper at ARIN.

Unless ARIN has a specific example of an org acquiring additional
addresses despite inefficiently using the ones they have? I realize
you can't name names, but if there is an example we should consider,
I'd like to see it anonymized but otherwise with full details. Without
data to drive an analysis, we'll just argue ideology. That isn't
helpful.
