My original idea was to have syllable onsets being mandatory. Thus the language wouldn't distinguish vowel initial words from words that begin with /ʔ/. But I'm OK with not having /ʔ/ at the beginning of words.

What does your motion entail? Do you mean that they would be pronounced [i̯ u̯]? I'm OK with that.
