Potentially, yes this could disadvantage teams, but by adding a defense that could be pretty easily traversed by most drivetrains in FRC this year, I would wager that for the most part it would be a non-issue. Plus, it's the offseason, which is the perfect time to try out fun stuff like this without hurting anyone's chances at winning a blue banner. I think it'd be really fun to see something like what a lot of people have proposed. The defenses could still be static if that makes things easier on field crews, but the added twist might be pretty cool.
