As a bit of a techie (looks at my spreadsheets where I hope I'm not overstepping mods), I believe there's an added bonus to an 8-moveset limit. I'm actually not certain how many moves this method is limited to - but it's an interesting idea.
You could use Pokemon Showdown to simulate the battles, thus offloading a bit of the Googling. I imagine this would only be used as a base to decide how the battle goes, since mods would still need to discuss other factors, but they could follow the written strat and use it to see how our characters would act.
How? Basically, in the team builder, you choose Gen 8 National Dex AG, add the Pokemon, then go to Import/Export. You can then use this team when you challenge somebody - another mod, I would assume - in a Custom Game with Gen 8 Mechanics. This could also be used if people ask for a rough version of how the battle went - while it wouldn't dictate the results, it would also show how their strategies worked.
If this is used in the future, and the mods need help, I'm here as tech support, aha.
Also, if there is a limit to moves, I do believe that a player should be able to nominate one or two egg/tm/tutor moves per-Pokemon, but need to mostly rely on natural moveset. Since, for example, there are trainers who rely on rain teams, so don't want to nerf them by removing Rain Dance. But let's be real if Minfilia used her Audino, she'd be focusing on non-natural moves.
