Leave aircraft on the SID and there would be occasional high ROC level busts especially by high performance biz-jets.
Rubbish. These are procedures conforming to ICAO standards. If pilots are unable to control their ROC then that is a flight deck issue not a procedures one.

To apply 2000 feet separation is a gross reduction of airspace capacity in an areas where airspace capacity is at a premium.
