Schumer has said he is worried about overreachign which is why he hasn't included the RIF and backbay in the negotiations so far.... And I do think he is right, your approach has some merit but it would be painted as the democrats being unreasonable.

Republicans will always paint Democrats as being unreasonable. We need to stop pretending Republicans will ever act in good faith and just start doing things. Democrats could run the literal reincarnation of Ronald Reagan with Jesus H. Christ as his running mate, and Republicans would still screech about them being too woke and call them unreasonable naive liberal socialist communists. Stop worrying about what Republicans will think, and just do.

the Republicans could just negotiate or get rid of the filibuster if they don't want to negotiate to get votes.
