My worry is that it would fuck over special attackers a little too hard with mainline pokemon being currently what it is. There are at least some ways for Phys attackers to get around or make use of burn, special attackers don't. Unless they end up adding a special type facade and other things, frostbite status would cause problems.
I had a thought a while ago that freeze could be reworked to doubling PP usage or something like that, but whatever.
