I think 30 minutes a day doing proper dry fire and once a week live fire with drills and stages under match conditions will in many cases get the budding shooter moving in the right direction.
I’d also include reloading in with that.
It took me 6 years shooting 3 matches a week for the first 4, averaging 65,000 and change rounds a year to become a 5 gun Master and place 1st MA at Nationals.
I could see banning pro's from SSP and Production pistol classes though. If pro's are mandated to use a stock pistol sometimes, do it in ESP or Limited.
There were lots of shooters that felt the same way and they changed the rules to force faster shooters to slow down (actually stop). Ran off lots of folks when they did. They have since switched back.
I never did understand how handicapping the best makes the rest better.
They just have more time to train.
As above there are a hand full where shooting is their “job”. They get the division champion trophy and you get 1st. At least I got to beat Jerry Miculek on a few stages.
