That sounds attractive, ostensibly. But a cautionary note: had the Republicans gone "nuclear" when they controlled the Senate in the early and mid-80's, we would have HillaryCare today. It was only Phil Gramm whipping the Democrat majority--with the filibuster option--that kept it from being rammed down our throats.
My rule of thumb is that anything (legal, of course) that prevents any deliberative government body from functioning is not only not bad, but a positive good. Another rule of thumb: anything we propose for a short-term solution is going to be used against us in the long-term, so we had better be able to stomach it.
I think the filibuster is a good idea for legislation, but not for confirming appointments. Also, I don't think stopping votes for or against confirmation of Presidential appointments is a "positive good." Leaving Cabinet Secretaries, Ambassadors, Judges, etc. vacant for long periods of time is not a good idea.
Don't confuse the apples and the oranges.
