That way, the human brain can get that short burst of pride at getting promoted and helps to smoothen progression over their 30 year career.
Nothing would change fundamentally but it helps to trick that little reptile part of our brain that there's some form of career progress.

Nah, it's got nothing to do with promotion for the sake of promotion. The name/number of the subgrade means nothing. It's got all to do with getting a fair salary for the work done. All experienced classroom teachers do the same job at heart, so there's no reason for such wide salary disparity.
I'm sure regular classroom teachers with no management aspirations won't mind being stuck at the GEO5/5A ceiling for a long time, rather than getting pathetic 2% increments per year and getting their two promotions spread out evenly across the next 30 years.
"Spreading out promotions to sustain motivation" is a pathetic line of reasoning for slowing down promotions, because anyone with common sense can see that the area under the curve over one's whole career is larger the sooner one hits 5/5A and/or the ceiling.
