I dislike the concept of mega-threads. It has always sounded to me like a way to drown out information instead of allow for easy access to information, and lowers the importance of the individual post in favor of whoever is more popular.
I think a better option, would be enhancing the crosspost or tagging system to be able to categorize posts by a category, and then for “megathreaded” posts you can just assign a tag. A few front ends already allow you to do usually by putting your tags in parenthesis in the title.
To add onto what you said, yes I fully agree its not a good look to be like “You need to put that in the megathread” I’m less apt to put it in the thread and more apt to just not post it at all at that point.
