This will just lead to the same servers launching but with more bugs.

EVERY server uses beta. I think I've only seen one big server recently in the past 3 months that hasn't (LegendR). Reality is using it, Laonar is using it, and many more.
In my personal opinion, I don't think servers should be allowed to advertise their thread whilst they're undergoing a beta stage. All it does is attract attention before the server is open (that's, if it even does open afterwards) and most of the people don't even fix bugs during this period as another user said, they just use it to gain extra attention and views before a server is opening. I remember seeing somewhere "rules" that you're not allowed to advertise your server if it's not opened in the next 5-7 days. Well, people bypass this rule, by creating a ***-**** long "closed + open" beta stage (usually 1 week for each, then opening date is
two weeks after the thread is submitted) to gain extra advertisement whilst claiming to fix minor bugs (which, in this day and age, if you can't fix small bugs and you need a beta, just delete mysql and join another server, we don't need standards to be lowered because you can't fix a simple stacking // bug issue).
