Perfectly reasonable.

I agree that the arch teams shouldn't be marking packages stable in
advance of when the the maintainer thinks it's ready.  At the same time,
it's the respective arch teams, as "owners" of their entire stable tree,
who (in my opinion) should have the final "okay" on a package going
stable, since they're the ones with experience of the entire stable
tree.  Does that make a bit more sense?
