Anyone with these kinds of ideals either has a real problem managing people and the security of their assets or are so inept they need something like this to force pilot retention.
On a distinct player consideration it is limiting and potentially abusive, especially as the power to effect these changes lies in the hand of those with certain roles, definatley not supported.
Consider the negative impact it could have in making it attractive for people to actually consider Sov space as an option in the first place.
Phase 2: Indoctrination and medication/cloaning gene therapy to turn players into indoctrinated drones like the Sansha?
However, considering that players should be allowed a choice, I much prefer the idea of a forced eviction after a set period, with notifications. Possibly in their current ship in a logged off state, and possibly any private assests could be reimbursed at a reduced set % to market rates. Even a landlord has a duty of care to people's possesions. This is also to avoid the problems associated with players taking extended breaks and being removed from corps as part of "house cleaning".
I did consider possibly eviction to a nearest deportation or homeless "shelter" with their assests that could be an immune npc type station not neccesarily in every system but a few spread around here and there to support such features. But it doesnt really releave the original problems of the OP. And having these stations in the nearest Empire space might be impractical and to some advantageous to use.
Not sure what the best solution might be to this to be honest, but the proposed idea doesn't seem even close imho. Any one with this kind of response either is extremely naive about managing people or so dense they think better security would actually drive people away.
On a distinct player consideration, it is openly governed by owning corporation with abused strictly limited by roles. The power to affect changes lies in trusted hands, not haphazardly open like POS ship arrays.

However, considering players should be allowed a choice, I much prefer the idea of a forced imprisonment with a bond price notification. Any private assets will be locked down, with no reimbursement. A landlord is not obligated to care for your possession. This is also to avoid the problems associated with players taking extended breaks and being removed from corps as part of "house cleaning".

But it that just nonsense to allow thieves, spies, and generally non contributing former members a risk free ride out. And having these stations in the nearest Empire space might be irrelevant and to some disadvantageous to use.
