What if it doesn't have to be that way?
What if the 2nd/3rd pick on each winning alliance, the wait-listed qualifiers and other teams are invited to one championship, and the alliance captains and 1st picks are invited to the other championship?
That seems to maintain the competitiveness while simultaneously including more teams.

I would fear this as much or more than the alternative. This ends up separating teams that are most likely to be inspired, from those most likely be inspiring.
Not having a true champion is a problem, but not the biggest. I don't think teams would be nearly as excited about attending the "2nd level" competition. They would also not have nearly the opportunity to learn from the powerhouses (both outreach and engineering) of the world.
