In my opinion, this would make the game much less strategic and much less interesting. One of the decisions you have to grapple with is how many meeples to commit to the board, and how many to keep in reserve for future point scoring opportunities. Each feature must be evaluated not only in terms of how many points it will get you, but how long it ties up your meeple for.
However, if it makes the game more fun for you and your group, go for it!

Agreed. My first thought though was if I were to do that I would use fewer meeples and then it would become more strategic: that meeple isn't earning, shall I leave him there and hope it will come home, or shall I take a valuable turn (you could make it the whole turn, i.e. replace the tile draw too) and recover him to work more profitably?
I didn't like Carcassonne: The Discovery because the scoring was messy, but this would be a nice half-way house perhaps.
