I can see the rationale, behind it.

This is a pretty serious situation they're in, and as such they need a tight command structure, just like in the military. The Void ranking system is a way of doing that, which has the benefit of being directly related to Shu's leadership. This way it's easier to give orders.

I can't say I agree with it though, there's too much potential for something bad to come of it, including but not limited to the points you mentioned.
