Horses for courses I guess.

Not having flown in the UK I find I have to think very carefully to assess the system you describe, whereas, being familiar with the system in Aus, where the TL is always FL110 and the TA is always A100, I find it simple.

Another way of looking at our system, is that rather than change the TL with changing (falling) pressure, we just prohibit cruise at certain lower FL to maintain a minimum 1000' buffer. The TL doesn't change though.
