The other thing which to me starts making this more plausible is that by the time you have a mature Incarnate character, there will be a ton of play time and effort invested in that character. It certainly wouldn't encourage "throwaway" characters, so doesn't shift the game towards people who just want to come and go in a few weeks or months. It also shoots down the counterargument "just make another alt and level them to 50 if you want a different powerset" because getting that alt through Incarnate would could well take longer then getting to 50, even ignoring outright powerleveling.
