They also tested that iLvl throttling in the 4.3 PTR, so yes, the tech is viable.
But (cutaia) is right. There's a lot of questions about how to make iLvl-throttled characters compatible with older content. Do 85s throttled down to 70 still have all their endgame abilities? How do those abilities affect how a throttled character can manage challenges in level 70 content? If those abilities are removed, is there the potentiality that due to how much spell acquisition has changed since level 70, throttled characters might not have tools that were available to normal 70s in BC, thus overchallenging them for the content?
And like he said, the fact that C'Thun's stomach room is still bugged six years after release means it would be a headache to have the encounter team revisit it for characters who want to clear it "like we did back in the day."
