Scythe Encountere ideas and questions

I was considering getting the officially released Scythe Encounters expansion. However, it would seem that people are mixed on it being too swingy and/or not balanced. What are your takes on this?

For balance, I am wondering if drawing 2 encounter cards per encounter, and picking just ONE of those 2 card could alleviate people's issues with it. Thoughts?

From what I have seen of the encounters they sound very rewarding. I am also thinking that normal encounters would be fine, but then with the resolution tile in The Wind Gambit that reactivates the encounters... maybe then use the more explosive encounter cards?

My other core idea would to put 2 or so of the expansion encounter cards on the bottom of the deck with just enough cards to have enough for all of the encounters. This could encourage people to save their close-by encounters and go after distant ones first...?
