I think they would mellow out a lot of things. Negi probably would still have magic but that subplot would be overshadowed by his interactions with his students in a "normal" school setting. Much like what the first chapters of negima was before the Eva arc.
The show can probably pull off a decent story if it just explored the interesting notion of a 10 year old teacher and how he deals with 30 odd female students older than him. I find potential in this cause we can finally see character development for the less magically inclined girls. This would also solve the problem of cheezy over the top CGI.
