As had been pointed out repeatedly, there's two lines of reasoning when it comes to GMs leaving: Things nobody can control (life if you will) or putting bad GMs in place who were a liability to begin with.
When you add two more teams that always need a GM - it absolutely changes the ratio. Shit, by definition it at least does that much. The problem with adding two more teams is that it opens the gap for a large revolving door. It doesn't mean we can't fill it, but it means it makes it that much harder to keep the league full.
It isn't a fallacy to suggest that a good thing can become a bad thing quickly. We're coming up to the end of the baseball season which historically marks a dampened enthusiaism in mogul leagues. We're running into the time of year when life situations (school) tend to happen to more people. We already have several members of the league that may be great at posting DC, but are invisible otherwise.
Expansion teams eat into the buffer zone you have between a waiting list and open teams. Open teams are the first thing that starts to kill a league. It's a risky manuever that I just don't see any good reason to do.
All the logistics and things aside, I just don't see the pressing need to do it.
