won't work. Firstly who would be enforcing that rule? if the hunters are choosing to die then there's no point because they are happy to move with the established system to the cost of them and everyone they care about, rather than try to tear it down to any purpose. If the hunters do not choose it then you need to have something or someone else answering to the councils. If they are capable of killing hunters then they are A: just as capable against the Grimm, and B: another threat that would need restricting in roughly the same way. Which in turn would need another system.

And that's quite aside from the fact that anyone can train to become a hunter without family conections, basically meaning that the hunter portion of society can grow endlessly and indefinately even with such a system in place, meaning it achieves nothing

and that is also quite aside from the fact that such a hostile system would actually lead a fraction of those who otherwise would have been passive to actually start being hostile towards the system just to avoid death, for their sake or their families.
