CCP have killed officer trade anyway. Just go the distance and restart it all from scratch. Keeping officer gear in the hands of the richest players who stockpiled them just lets them stomp further. Removing access to players who will have to get officer to fight in PC is damaging to say the least.
You want a level playing field, so make one. To begin with, CCP has not "killed officer trade". They have ripped the bandaid off of passive generation; thus making officer weapons rare again. Experimental weapons will replace them on the battlefield and that is a good thing for veterans and newbies.
The people who currently own stockpiles of officer gear will have them destroyed in battle. This problem corrects itself over time with every officer toy that gets destroyed. Asset loss is one of the unique things about New Eden. Let asset loss do its job.

Also, last time I checked, basic AUR gear wasn't heavily in demand by PC corps

If you are feeling flushed with cash, you can now triple stack passive and active boosters to rapidly gain SP and bridge that gap between newberry and vet even faster. Oh, and we didn't have the warbarge providing passive ISK and SP generation every day.
