Any people who are solving purely to enable further publishing of puzzles would choose the puzzles which are easy and which have simple rule-sets, which would only serve to worsen the issue (namely that hard puzzles/puzzles with complicated rule-sets do not get sufficient attention).
True, that might happen. I thought the main problem was that the total number of solves did not grow as much as the total number of new puzzles, not specific to complicated puzzles. But I think that my suggestion is an improvement over the fixed number of new puzzles that some suggested. I don't see how that would worsen the situation?
We could also make it such that solving puzzles with less than 10 solves count more towards "unlocking" new puzzle slots. Maybe make time a factor (i.e. how long has the puzzle already been posted while not being solved?), to avoid people racing to solve a puzzle after it came out.
