There is no perfect solution, so their will be some pain in the transitions.
We already do and it's not so bad. The past two years we've had a couple dozen third district teams that aren't playing for any sort of points or qualifying. I think each year the past two years we've had a district that's more than half third event teams not playing for anything, as well as multiple events with a handful of third event teams.

Additionally, I imagine that any district team that's shelling out for a regional is playing to win even if they don't stand to qualify.

You are correct though in that it'll never be perfect

Edited to add: Oops. A bunch of others beat me to it. Didn't mean to pile on.
