Many jobs even most jobs don't work you at or near the short term max capacity you can achieve because it isn't sustainable, lacks redundancy or because the nature of work flow and peer expectation creates a degree of slack.

Condensing the workforce as you describe risks destroying redundancy and sustainability.

It may work in tests with high performers over short dutations but may fall under over longer terms, with average performers, or with even a small amount of atrition.

Having cog number 37 pick up the slack for 39 doesn't work with no excess capacity.
