In my opinion, I’m ok with this as long as it doesn’t dilute resources from the other servers. Asking for basically a new server could affect the distribution of the servers current resources which could cause more problems that the recent update had tried hard to fix.

 

This may be the most useless suggestion you’re basically asking them to host a single-player world. The testing you speak of can be done in single-player and yes you can mimic the restrictions Skyblock poses in terms of redstone and flow rate of hoppers. Just leave the server and go to single-player if you’re having connection issues everyone knows to connect to Skywars.com and do /skyblock or better yet contact your service provider for further assistance.

 

A creative skyblock would be fun, especially for mega build builders. I love making my creative world builds by recreating them on the server, but a restriction is as always, balance, grass, etc. I've never played survival until this server, but I love the creative aspect of /shop menus having instant block access. Maybe on a much smaller scale, eg half a starter expansion sized plot, creative could be very useful for players wishing to test different designs out with ease. That could also introduce a best build for each other comp as a further idea.

Economy and skyblock are still crucial, but having a much smaller creative island world could be just as great
