So there are already processes in place that safely allow a/c to fly at their 'optimal' altitude. If the effect can be predicted (i.e. what's the best altitude to reduce contrails), is it not just a case of using those processes but to now fly at what is the new 'optimal' altitude - having taken account of the trade offs...
