I understand that it's a complicated issue, and although it's not
absolutely necessary to set from_as_list, that you are only doing that
to make the header munging consistent across all messages, as dmarc
moderation would only munge a subset. Although I'd personally prefer the
latter, I suppose we must agree to disagree on that.

Yes, it also has the potential to reduce the distributed and
decentralised nature of email;

I.e. if you're not sending via a "reputable" service provider, your mail
wont get routed. This is antithetical to an open Internet, Internet
neutrality, and it could also be considered a means of censorship by
some.

Likewise.

The more I think about it, the more I dislike the current DMARC
standard, it'd be nice if it could also do "Sender:" field alignment in
the case of SPF, where DKIM alignment has also been satisfied by at
least one signature. This would probably work towards solving the
legitimate cases of mail forwarding.

I believe this has also been suggested by others in the past, but went
nowhere; along with the concept of an "X-Original-Authentication-Result"
header, although those could be easily forged, and we're back to the
subjectivity of trust problem.
