Just to make things clear -- you're advocating #!/bin/sh and running

as /bin/sh?
(Likely alternatives include at least ksh and mksh, formerly pdksh.)
I think this has already happened wherever it was easy. So to
remove /bin/bash scripts, it needs either some work to remove all
bashisms, or a replacement for the most common functions. So ksh is
certainly part of the solution.
The global approach should be to make a clear separation between
software intended as login shells (bash, zsh, tcsh) and software that
can be used as script interpreters (dash, mksh… *). And eventually to
forbid using the former ones for the latter use.
(*) I intendedly omitted csh because it is extremely bad for
both use cases.
