This could work as long the villain deviate from a typical dragon Ball villain and fits well with the context of the narrative, death in the franchise has always been joke and it will be good to see the franchise addressing that.

This quote:
As H. P. Lovecraft once said " The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown "

I do not agree with this, love and loss of a loved one (despair) are much stronger emotions than fear, in my opinion and personal experience.
That would be hard to do because they're all marketing icons as well. They just need to create more disposable characters that they can't just wish back just because, like with No. 16 (and Trunks' timeline apparently even though most likely they were pushed out for the Zeno introduction and were required to stay dead). The only death in Z that actually stood because the rules over him were final. The TOP could have did that and just have Vegeta win to wish back U6 (considering all the others accepted their erasure anyway there was no sense of betrayal in it), but nope. They came back anyway. If the other Universes accepted erasure then what did it mean for them to disappear in the first place?

If that's all you want, then all you want is fanservice, rather than an actual coherent story. And of course those aren't mutually exclusive; you could have a coherent story with "shine" moments! But if a story is perfectly coherent (and I'm really not seeing any compelling arguments that this one is anything but, despite constantly recurring, really poorly reasoned, attempts to argue otherwise), and you're bemoaning the lack of "shine" moments as a reason for the story's poor quality, then you're letting your thirst for "shine" moments obfuscate your ability to detect basic storytelling when it's right in front of you.
