I'd ask the reverse: why not just remove GW from these champions, and instead buff them in other ways if needed? might like a stronger slow, for example, and might appreciate a stronger steroid, whereas  might instead want a bit more power on her basic abilities, or an even stronger ult. In every single one of these cases, GW is a secondary or tertiary effect tied onto a much more visible and directly impactful mechanic, and adds no gameplay to the abilities it's attached to. I'd say the better way to go would be to first overhaul the sustain of problematic champions so as to be manageable by everyone, then remove GW from, and every champion ability it still exists on. With Grievous Wounds out of the game, the only way to deal with heavy sustain would be through interaction with the champion in question, which would force these champions to have sustain anyone can handle give proper play.
