So the real requirement is to reduce the load the IETF places on an AD.


This seems like an extremely difficult problem to me. Most of IESG's
workload is in reviewing technical specifications. I don't see any way
to provide good quality technical specifications without a final review
by a group of technically adept individuals with a broad range of
expertise. 

Other groups solve this by distributing that load - which also solves
the problem of individuals with bones to pick. They get outnumbered ;-)

To significantly reduce the load that the IETF places on an AD basically 
means one or more of the following:

- fewer WGs (and a higher bar for chartering new WGs)
- fewer documents (say, a quota on the number of documents a WG can produce)
- shorter documents (say, a per-document page quota)
- fewer WG participants
- a further degradation in document quality

Why isn't a larger number of "ADs" - or, more specifically, removing the
review process from the ADs and having a real review group, the solution
here?
