Having the NIEM guide database design is a danger. But, if an agency models their database on it, it won't because they weren't warned against it. (Not sure if there's the correct number of negatives there. The point is that agencies are being explicitly warned against using the NIEM as the basis for their databases.)
Still, many make the initial assumption that the NIEM should guide their internal databases. Continual education is needed to prevent that misconception.
Regarding stripped-down versions, there is a mechanism, and supporting tool, for doing just that. It doesn't totally prevent the problem, but tries to keep it manageable.
