I dont think Steem needs burned. If a SMT creator needs to Stack them for RC, if fully ok.

Think about, if you have 100kSP you will never need your RC. But if you Stack this for your Token and you can Share your RC with Token holder, there gets free transaction on Steem would be cool.

I think this would be make Steem more Valuable too. Reason is simple, if you have a nice Smt project and you need a lot of Rc, you need more Steem.

There will be maybe a lot of SMT projects in future, so there need to Stack a lot of Steem.

So Stacking Steem makes more Sense.

And for the Enduser the awesome thing is, there dont need Steem, if there have a SMT.

For me this sounds easier and smarter.
