I think it’s highly unlikely that the current politicians are going to agree to legislate something like 2 term limits that would see a lot of them done at the start of the next election cycle so you have to come up with a proposal that would be viable. It’s not a be all end all solution but it gets the ball rolling in the right direction and would IMO make it easier to push to move from potential 16 year terms to 12 year terms. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

I don't expect that parliamentarians would be supportive of your suggested term limit to begin with. I don't expect them to be willing to adopt any limits.
I don't see your proposal as being particularly helpful in making our political representatives any better and if something was to be implemented it should closer to 8 (can't run again in or after their 8th year because our elections can be pretty irregular.)
