Default Zero Nitro heads?

With the potential nitro shortage and or cost increase, I wonder if raising the compression on common US market engines like OS 46’s to convert to methanol only would work on these engines to retain near nitro performance. I know the OS makes an ethanol engine already, but what about those in circulation. Something like an exchange program, the customer sends in his cylinder head (cherry condition or pay full price) and the customer gets back a head that has it’s deck, squish band, dome (reduced volume dome) reconfigured with maybe an anodize color to signify the conversion.

What do ya guys think?
