Do your equate delegates to a Convention of States with members of Congress? If so, that is an error. The states will send delegates with commissions that frame their authority.

Those delegates will be subject to the same lobbying and pressure that members of Congress are subject to now. And I don't trust even Republican legislatures to appoint sufficiently conservative delegates. The First and Second Amendments are already under siege by both the Left and RINOs in state legislatures. What would prevent an unrestricted convention from making wholesale changes to both?

An unrestricted constitutional convention with no limits on its scope opens a Pandora's box, with no assurance that we will be happy with the results. We could end up with something even worse than we have now - given the amount of money the Left now has, the support it has from BigTech and the MSM, and the proven effectiveness of these groups in corrupting the 2020 election, conservatives should be very wary of giving such an opportunity to the Left.

You misunderstand the difference between representatives and delegates.

“What would prevent an unrestricted convention from making wholesale changes to both?”

Straw man. Show where in Article V it says “unrestricted.” It doesn’t, and nobody with a brain is proposing an unrestricted convention. Article V limits it to proposing amendments. Not changing the constitution. Not opening it up to anything else.

Article V

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.
