Is there a possibility of correlation between "Starter pitches deeper into game" and "opposing offense is weaker" (and the inverse of "Starter leaves game early" and "opposing offense is stronger") that helps explain the Bullpen ERAs in each instance?
Great analysis of this situation!!! When I saw this idea, it sounded good on the surface, but I couldn’t think of what could go wrong, and you brought out a ton of stuff that might go wrong, great job! Thanks!
Not that it’s bad, but it would also end the use of openers as well as any tandem starts.

Would think there’s at least some signal there

You worked your butt off on this! Well done.
Great detail and well presented!
Great read!
