This may well be the way to go, but if it is a multigun tournament style event and a competitor is competing in both handgun and PCC division, he/she will have an unfair advantage as he/she gets to run the same course twice. Or do I misunderstand you? Not picking a fight, just trying to get my head around the practicalities.

While I have never shot a multi-gun event, at provincial IPSC league shoots a shooter can, and they often do, enter twice. First shoot on Saturday and then again, maybe in a different division, on Sunday.
At a higher level match like a Nationals, I think you would have to choose either or. I don't think there would be enough time do both. Or, at a L3 shoot, PCC should be hosted seperately.
First hurdle would be getting enough people participating though.

Re: 9mm ARs?
The 300BLK is a very cool cartridge and I would love one. It can do many things that are pretty good.
But it tries to be a jack of all trades.
As a suppressed CQB it works well but you have pistol speeds and need expensive ammo to prevent over penetration and proper expansion. The same can be done with 45ACP at 1/4 of the price. Or even 9mm subsonic with lots of beans.
As a suppressed medium distance 20-150m it works real well and this is where it shines. But once you start getting to these distances suppression may or may not be ideal.
Un-suppressed at medium distance just about everything else is cheaper and ballistically it's a tossup for 5.56, 7.62x39 or 300BLK they all have little nieces that they win, but all round they come out about even.
Long range they can be employed but there are better options.
The 300 is a great cartridge but it's not some super does all. basically suppressed it's a pistol carbine and un-suppressed it's an AK. Well almost
