Offloading work from the base layer seems consistent with choices the network has made in the past.

Well, yeah, I guess that's true. Depends on how it's pulled off - for some reason I was thinking this was suggesting making mining easier, which would be antithetical, but utilizing an upper layer is kind of what LN is doing, right?

Yep. LN exists precisely to take load off the base layer.
